Asklemmy

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

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.

Just started today, but as my reddit activity is going down to zero …. Yes lol

Yes, absolutely. I'm still not sure if it's because the whole community is smaller here, the people are better, no Karma competition, or a combination of all the above

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".

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

I certainly do! Reddit was just too loud in every way.

Yes, definitely. Maybe I feel like my contributions matter more since we are all trying to make this a viable platform? I dunno, but it's definitely more fun interacting here than on reddit.

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

Yes

Yes, I am significantly more active here than I was on Reddit (at least recently, my decline on posting/commenting on Reddit started a few years ago).

I'm not sure it matters more TBH... but I basically stopped Reddit for 2 days, and now just get drawn back to read the occasional post - but don't bother commenting.

With the downtick in Reddit, I remembered that I hadn't read a book for a month or two, so I headed over to Annies Archive and grabbed a bunch to add to my Kindle...

So I now downloaded 3 versions of 'Great Expectations' and am reading that book before watching them - but also have "Welcome to the MonkeyHouse" by Kurt Vonnegut and "The Book Thief" grabbed from Annie's Archive.

Basically now I'm spending less than half the time on net than I was before.
