On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.

    I’m trying to. I’m so used to lurking on Reddit that I forget to actually post here. Working on it, though.

    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

    The same happened here. More than 16 years on Reddit, and most of them as a not-very-active lurker. But here? I’m commenting every day.

    As a FOSS guy, here I feel at home. From the community to the community.

    I’m pretty sure I already have more posts on Lemmy than my entire 10 years on Reddit 🤣

    Can’t really explain why but I’m way more active here. I think I just really want Lemmy to succeed.

    Yes and no.

    When I’m at my PC, yes I did become more active.

    On mobile, I’m waiting for a better app like Relay and Sync to finally make Lemmy usable. Jerboa is barely-functional even with the latest update which finally added UI improvements, at the cost of making the app unusable with instances running on older versions of Lemmy and a slew of other glitches that make certain tabs unviewable.

    For sure, similar to what others expressed to help with engagement/activity. The centralized for-profit platforms hold way too much power over my infotainment appetite.

    Reddit mods censored a lot of content both posts and comments. That was part of the reason reddit was not a positive experience and became a echo chamber. Lemmy appears to be more like the old internet where there were a diverse community of ideas and views.

    Nope, since I left reddit I spend less time mindlessly looking at my phone. But I do enjoy lemmy in healthy doses.

      It’s been the complete opposite for me. While I still don’t interact much, I am spending way more time looking through posts than I did on Reddit. Reddit posts and comments outside of the niche subs were so mind-numbingly repetative that I didn’t ever teally enjoy spendinguch time there. Getting WAY more happy-brain-juice from lurking on Lemmy right now.

    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!
