I was only active on certain small subreddits, here I am active in more different communities.

I am a bit more active here than I was in Reddit because I feel like here we don't really find the toxicity we had on Reddit, at least in my opinion.

Definitely. I'm both posting and commenting way more. I need to do my part to make sure this thing really takes off!

Yes. Smaller community, and generally more intelligent, or at least more capable of having a meaningful discussion.

I think it's something that happens when you throw a larger group of people together, like reddit, where people act a bit different ime

Even I am less toxic, and more positive. Something about reddit messed that up.

Atp, I'm here more for discourse than any specific content, and that's something I really missed about social media.

I feel like I am not yet, but I will be. Some of the subs I have on Reddit aren’t here yet, partly because they’re either niche or liked by a lot of people that are less tech literate including their maintainers.

I have gone trough some instances before deciding on my current one and I like the stance of most that are for an active discussion, against mindless downvotes and for overall more communication than social media consumption.

The fact that there is next to no automated account making will also help in the long run I think. It makes it an less attractive target for the bad kind of bots imo.

Absolutely, I'm way more active on here. Reddit is so oversaturated, it's impossible to comment on a post before it already has hundreds of comments unless you have time to sit in New and comment as submissions come in. Here, I feel like someone will actually read what I write. Thanks for reading!

Me, by far.

In Reddit: dropped mod position years ago. Used uBlock Origin to remove the voting buttons, as they're pointless. The only threads that I've created were in r/RedditAlternatives, near the end. Create account, comment as I feel in the mood to comment, shred its content, repeat every ~3 months. Extremely rude tone towards anyone showing the smallest sign of shallow thinking, wishful thinking, or similar character flaws. Scaling up arguments for the sake of why not.

Here: moderating three comms. Actively voting. Creating threads fairly often, specially in the comms that I mod. Trying to keep a polite tone and contribute as long as I can. I've only got a single potential fight (against an extremely trashy user - assumptive, with poor reading, but still screeching like he was in Reddit), and even then I simply told myself "meh, why bother".

Lemmy just feels better to comment/interact with. I just feel more motivated to be active on here.

I've found myself commenting here more because there's less people. Which means they're way nicer and it doesn't feel like I'm just screaming into the void.

My local cities daily thread is more active than it what's left on Reddit, despite the Reddit community having 600k subs. 410 comments on the Reddit thread, 480 on the lemmy community thread.

It's been like this daily.

MUCH more active here for me

I feel like I have seen more conversations on Lemmy about Reddit than original content

I am more actif here than on reddit. There was a time on reddit I stopped even upvotes and down votes when I noticed they are changing philosophy. Here I post more stuff and wrote more comments. Sometimes to add value to discussions and sometimes just for the sake of commenting and getting activity rolling.

I definitely am. I may have more comments and posts here than on Reddit already and I have only been here a fraction of the time.

Not yet. My niche communities don’t exist in the fediverse yet like they do on Reddit, and I do not have the bandwidth to start new communities right now. Excited to watch it grow and continue to contribute where I can.

I am definitely feeling more motivated to participate here. It feels like a very welcoming environment so far.

The smaller the community, the bigger the impact of your opinions.

For example, just on my own, I can reach a good 50% impact on anything I say unless my wife says something different.

Absolutely. As much as I loved Reddit, I always felt drowned out due to the large user base and was hesitant to share my opinion. Thanks to Lemmy and its (currently) smaller communities, I feel like my voice has wider reach or, at the very least, less aggressive competition.

This is my second comment since joining this morning, so yes, significantly more active.

I have not been on reddit since the protest, but I didnt post or comment a lot anyway so probably not much of an impact

I haven't browsed Reddit since a couple of weeks now. I am definitely more active on Lemmy.

Have recently made the jump from Reddit. With a brilliant 3rd party app - go figure!! I expect to be more active here.

yes, never had a reddit account.

On Reddit I was afraid to comment or post because of the inevitable onslaught of users who would try to start a keyboard fight on the most trivial of topics. It hindered me from just sharing any kind of opinion or cool accomplishment to the point where I would just comment with a one-word or one-liner in hopes it's not petrol. Getting shit on turns you in to a lurker. I've engaged more on Lemmy in the past 2 weeks than I have on Reddit in years. I like it here.

Yes

I'm a lot more active then I was on Reddit.

I was very active in the subs of the games I play (I'm even r/CSRRacing2 mod) when I started there, but I'm getting tired of the hate, stupidity,...

back to a level of activity i would call my "normal". hasn't been like this in almost a decade.

For me it was always difficult to be active on R so the atmosphere here is much more pleasant.

I have not touched reddit since this debacle... I added a bunch of subreddits to my RSS reader, but I'm honestly not looking at it.

Unfortunately searching for information often brings me to a reddit post, but I'm trying to avoid it and so far found the information elsewhere.
