I've felt more compelled to contribute to the "Fediverse" than I ever did on Reddit. (kbin.social)

Over the last week or so I have noticed that I have a lot more fun engaging in discussions on here as opposed to reddit.

On reddit i always felt like i was shouting into the void and there was nobody listening, which resulted in me becoming a lurker for the last 12 years.

Maybe it's the small size of this community, the lack of karma farmers, that I've finally lost my mind or a little bit of all of the above, but this place just feels like something special. I'm really looking forward to building the fediverse with all of you!

Absolutely agree. Some things need work (really feel like boost and favorite should be switched because imo the button that drops rep and visibility should be next to the button that raises them - it's just mildly confusing from a design standpoint) but so far I think I'm enjoying the interaction more.

I also am feeling this. It feels super refreshing to be here for the same reasons. I felt like when I commented on stuff I'd get ignored too.

same, i'm trying to encourage myself to contribute more by making an account that has a name unique to anything else i'm on so i can have the anonymity

@Deralax I feel that's more related with platform addiction. Since COVID 19 Reddit became more a news stand.
Look at r/popular 11 of each 10 posts are news related and not like a generic piece of news. Feels that they're perfectly selected to create toxic comments which at the same time droves people to look for more toxic news.

Reddit is a platform designed about being toxic and addictive while Lemmy/Kbin are designed as a way to connect with people that shares your same interests.

I've started more posts and added more comments through kbin in a week than I did in 12 years on reddit. The community is so much smaller and comments are actually read instead of lost in the sea of shitposting.

What community did you make? Your profile says you don't mod any.

Here, I feel that I can experience a similar feeling to the fun of the pioneering rural countryside, where people cut through the wasteland to build fields and houses, and discuss the news over tea with their neighbors.

The small size and lack of content really makes me want to push things for the communities I loved to lurk on Reddit.

Same here. What's this, I can binge post AND feel good about it? Hehehe
