Articles are shorter now too.
Has @showerthoughts ever been about silly shower thoughts on Lemmy or is it just hot takes here.
We had a brief period where it was actual shower thoughts.
I recommend not using Lemmy while showering, it’s bad for your energy bill. Also electronics.
Yeah, it just feels like ask lemmy but with jeopardy rules.
Leopardy.
Better than Reddit’s “guys, life is like bideo game”
I did notice that I actually click and read articles more here, vs on reddit where I just read the comments.
Typically I don’t feel the need to comment on lemmy
Impossible. I post too many comments for this to be true.
You really do. I’m pretty sure I see your comments in every thread I read.
is your username a reference to the song? I like the song very much :)
Ha yes it is! I (obviously…) love it too
Here’s a comment for contradiction’s sake. May your online days be merry and full of commentary.
Type here to comment…
i usually just wait on the comments. articles are dry and boring, comments have opinions and views and emotion and juice
A lot of articles are nothing but opinions and views, usually involving emotions!
I see a fairly healthy comment activity, but I’m also fine with like 65 comments, after that I get bored
I consider it a plus. I do value also being able to read most, if not all, comments on lemmy too.
It is just nice to be able to comment and have it read instead of buried 3000 comments down after the memes and one-liners.
That’s what she said… or something.

so much this
Thanks for the gold kind stranger.

Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger
What, did you need something?
Oh, wait, hey! I actually did say basically this!
Im not reading all that but congratulations. Or I’m sorry. I don’t know whatever works. (This one is actually kinda funny tho)
This one is good when someone responds with a wall of text with no formatting, bad punctuation, etc.
I’ll sometimes comment on stuff but overwhelmingly I don’t. I was the same way on reddit. I just feel that I don’t have anything meaningful to say so why say anything.
I find myself commenting a lot more here. It’s more conversational than reddit. Comments are longer and not just one liner’s, and the smaller community means my comments won’t be buried. It also feels like a gateway drug to posting. I should post something today. I won’t, but I should.
Yeah, I comment more and longer. Because I’m more confident it will be seen.
And that’s the right way to approach it, but in a platform were niche communities are so empty, even a meaningless comment counts
But yeah, I try to follow the same approach, I’m interested in many things, and subscribed to a lot of communities, but why should I comment if it doesn’t help or adds anything to the theme of the post
Well, If anyone reads this, keep this as a good habit, even if it feels a bit weird in here, comment when you are of help, and learn from others when you have nothing to say
Edit: I love how the replies to this are doing the exact opposite lol, take care boys, I actually got a good laugh from this
Seconded

We done fucked up
I think it was our lack of coordination…
I just wanted to say I also This
I have this same issue as well.
I just don’t feel like I have anything insightful or meaningful to say.
But, I feel like I should in the community I mainly frequent since it’s really quiet a lot and the main mod feels like the only person keeping things ticking along.
This is just comment baiting
And it‘s working
Come on mate, it might have been the case at the inception of Lemmy but now there’s interesting content everywhere, even in your bait post 😁
