Not really. Reddit was mostly fine, but I do at least feel that as there are fewer users on Lemmy it's easier to interact with others than just posting to the void.

It's a great place to vent/rant. I'd rather be an asshole online and get it out of my system than to take it out on someone irl.
Yes. And you don’t get the snarky clownshoes responses that are probably just bots anyway.
Simply put, yes, I feel the same way.
I like the unmodded and unrestricted nature of Lemmy, or at least how much more free it feels, but in reality there's significantly less interesting content here. So I still visit Reddit from time to time to read on world news or see details in some live feeds. I don't interact there at all. That said, I decided never to go back on Reddit but not because of price gouging or something similar, but because I caught myself spending too much time on stupid stuff there. Life is too short to dig through whole of internet.
I think yes but I would still call myself a lurker. I don't feel any pressure here to write a good comment.
I would definitely interact more if there was more to interact with.
nah I comment about the same as I did on reddit
I'm sleepy
I go through cycles of activity and lurking, but generally interact more than I did on reddit.
The other side of this is Lemmy is the main social media platform I interact with (including lurking) period these days. For anything else I either don't use it or my profile's a ghost town.
For sure. Doing it right now!
Same amount as I was on Reddit, far less than any other social media though.
Sometimes, but usually about the same rate for me.
Not yet, but I plan to. I'm slowly tapering off Reddit, I'm forced to use the main app, I even managed to remove the ads off it, but I still hate it. It doesn't show the posts that the third party apps always show, the ordering is off no matter how you change it. Hard to explain.
Nope lol
I've interacted more hopefully. There are less truly bad faith actors here I think.
No. At least not in ways I want. I mostly purged the mainstream meme subs from my reddit experience and stuck to my nitche interests, but I haven't really found active replacements for those yet.
