There was a former reddit mod on here a few days ago talking about how a small percentage of users make most of the posts/comments there. Personally, I’m glad to get away from that.
There may not be much content here, but at least the average person can be heard.
I’ve noticed this sentiment a lot over here! A lot of people that were lurkers back on Reddit have decided to join the conversation instead of just scrolling. It is nice!
It’s actually quite refreshing typing out a comment and not just erasing what I wrote right away like I would always do on Reddit. I always felt like there was hardly a point putting effort into comments on Reddit, unless I was on a more niche sub.
This has been an easier transition than mastodon. On Twitter I relied on specific people’s content to feel like it was worth my time. Not all of them moved over or posted much
On Reddit I just need replies in topics and it can be by anyone
I’d like to move to Mastodon so badly, but none of the people I follow (mostly YouTubers) have moved there so I don’t have any reason to be on mastodon…
with lemmy it’s way easier because I don’t need certain people to be here
Same with Twitter, I don’t mind wading through the odd cesspool if it means I’ll run into some good people and fun memes but both Twitter and Reddit really went to shit, and quickly too.
Let’s keep it up, this place is great. I have not missed Reddit. Feel like I was in a cesspool without knowing it
Totally.

I heard the rule of thumb with social media is 1/9/90. 1% are poster/content creators 9% are commenters 90% are lurkers
Just need to attract that 1% and the house of cards comes tumbling down.
Lurker on Reddit. Trying to be more outgoing here. Maybe those stats will change

I am one of them. I try to comment now on Lemmy especially when I see other people mention being Reddit lurkers.
It’s something small that means a lot when added together. One comment a day means you are an active user.

So other people had this experience? Happy to know I wasn’t alone and going crazy.
Exactly. Feels like my voice is actually heard here. I’m enjoying the smaller community for now 🙂
I’ve missed Reddit but I’m realizing now the number of times I’ve reflex clicked Apollo that my usage was unhealthily heavy.
I’m enjoying Lemmy and due to both it being new and more empty (but enjoyable!) I’m online much less and I think it’s a good change.
That plus the communities here are small enough that k feel like my posts or comments are actually seen and responded to now which is nice!

I mean let’s be honest…we all knew it was a cesspool lol

Yeah but it may be an Eternal September kind of situation.
I can’t judge tho, I’m a reddit refugee myself.
