I don't know if it's just me but it reminds me of early Reddit, without all the Karma whoring

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I just joined today and will always stay a lurker but I've mainly noticed a difference in the type of comment I feel prompted to make. On Reddit I mostly gave advice to other people, because you or any opinions were never going to get noticed anywhere else anyway (unless you were lucky, I guess), the community here right now is a lot more casual and so are my replies.
Because it's new and everyone is still enjoying the "Lemmy good, Plebbit bad" mentality/circlejerk out of the current events we are having.
I'm for sure posting more in the communities that I really like and those that I want to see succeed.
I figure that the more we all interact, within reason, the more everything will grow.
Same here! It helps that there's a lot less negativity here overall, similar to the earlier days of Reddit.
Yes I’ve definitely posted more here than Reddit. The only thing that keeps me from posting more is performance issues. There have been a few times when I wrote a response but the post button just spins and eventually I give up.
Lenmy feels very new to me and I'm glad to be away from the echo chamber that's Reddit. No more "who's cutting onions", "this is the way" and "sauce?". I'm done with it. Just done. Let's see what Lemmy had to offer. :)

No, I still remain a lousy human
I was mostly a lurker on Reddit, but the smaller community on Lemmy has made it so others actually see my comments. On Reddit they would just get lost in the thousands of other comments.
There are definite upsides to having a smaller community.

Same with me. I was a lurker on reddit and never really felt the need to contribute, but with Lemmy I really want the place to grow and it needs content to do that.
A bit, yeah. Joining Lemmy got me to finally write up a technical idea I'd been intending to post for the last year or so. Figured it'd be a good way to help seed one of the programming communities with some content.
Like other commenters have said: gotta help the community grow, and it won't grow if there's nothing interesting for people to read.
I post way more than I ever did on reddit
I am exactly the same. I have posted here more times than I did on Reddit in total.
There is just something ‘nice’ about being here. I love that there are region/area specific sites you can join and go from there. I have joined the UK specific Feddi.uk and have found a lot to enjoy.
Let’s all help make this the place to be going forwards.
I didn't post on Reddit because I felt no desire to give free content to a business making money from me. Although lots of people really felt like it was a community, I didn't. I thought it was like a theme park - dressed up like a town in order to make you feel like you weren't inside a store. This seems like a real community, at least at the moment.
Yup, mostly lurker to poster
I love posting here! It, like you said, has a much nicer and kinder vibe here 💕
Ah now that I finally figured out how to comment maybe I can join this trend
i feel like iam actually contributing to the community and helping to build this platform. in Reddit it doesn't feel like your making a difference
I commented on reddit a lot, many times a day for many years. After the latest bullshit I had no qualms about dropping it like a hot potato. Bye bye, not going back. The future of social media is decentralized.
I don't, tbh I'm still trying to get a feel for the liftoff app and it just doesn't feel as easy as boost and sometimes it's kinda buggy. I also don't know what to post
I think that as a result of the size of reddit, it was unlikely to have engagement when you commented, and it was common to get unkind engagement if it did happen. It’s nice to have a fresh start, but since there’s less of us, it is also a much more intimate experience.
I posted a fair amount on Reddit, this place seems fun.
I barely interacted in Reddit. But communities here makes me want to participate.
I’m trying to find the most popular communities so I can figure out what websites blogs I can post and generate content like I was used to when browsing subreddits

As someone who experienced the digg migration, this is the magical place Reddit once was
Have not made a post yet (busy with school and work) but I definitely comment more. Feels so much like web 1.0 forums with a splash of 2.0.
Definitely I am more willing to post and comment, since reddit fail down. :)
I have already written more comments here than I ever did on reddit. I want lemmy to succeed and it needs even us lurkers to do that. It ain't much--but I am commenting ;)
We're surely in the golden age of Lemmy where the moderators are numerous and engaged enough to keep up with the bots, spammers, and hate mongers. It makes it a pleasant place to be, even if it seems to be overflowing with beans at the moment.
This is my first Lemmy post!
