Reddit Migration

I feel the same way I almost never commented on reddit, but here I feel like its just much easier to

Yes, Ive got the same thing. I did use Reddit to ask stuff, but never engaged in discussions as it didn't seem to matter. Whenever something had hit the front page, new comments wouldn't be seen.

On Lemmy I've been very active, and people are just nicer. Also I want to make certain communities a success so I do even more my best to post content.

I can relate very much.

for the first time in a longer time, I see that most commented are just nice and honest instead of the cascade of misunderstanding and closed minded discussions I sometimes had on Reddit.

This is the exact reason why communism and anarchy would work. People love to do stuff when things are fair.

When you feel like you are just helping some rich person get more data on you, and you're being exploited you shut down.

When you are working towards something with other people and you all benefit from it you can do things that would normally be considered work and enjoy them!

Reddit posts would only get acknowledged if you said one of the pre-approved comments. Commenting felt pointless because so many of the upvoted and comments that actually got engaged with felt like they were written by a bot or just automatically generated by reddit.

"fuck about, find out"

"maybe, just maybe..."

*"I'll take for 500, Alex" *

"They had us in the first half, not gonna lie"

I wonder how may of the commenters were just bots.

I've been feeling the same way. It's why I've been much more active in comment chains and why I've replied to a lot more posts, though I still have a bit of trouble with actually posting.

I did not see any SteamDeckEmu replacement so I made my own. I would have never have done that on Reddit. The future of the Fediverse depends on the content provided by the users! Unlike Reddit, there are no bots generating content and this is solely a human focused network

It does feel a bit better, but I still struggle to contribute. It feels like it's a bit noisy still - maybe I just need to reduce how much content I'm subscribed to.

I'm more of a lurker but I'm more compelled to comment here because of the default sort algorithm in comments, you get a mix of newer and upvoted, so even if I comment on an older post, or one with a lot of comments I don't feel like I'm shouting to the void.

Feeling the same. I love commenting and posting, whereas on Reddit I was always nervous and felt like I was shouting into an empty void, like you said.

I hope it lasts, because it's so cozy here so far.

@Deralax and you can interact with people outside of kbin too. The fediverse really is awesome.

I’ve made more posts and comments here in the past week than I did on Reddit for a long time. I think I have 80 posts now it’s insane and like nearly 300 comments. This place is fun

Reddit has a high percentage of bots and shills so this is still real people thus more welcoming.
