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.

    Yep! Since it is a smaller community, it feels less like screaming into the void. There’s a good chance people will see a comment, even if it isn’t made in the first hour or so.

      reddit had two styles of interaction: sort by new and get in on the comments early, or come late to the party and be a spectator

      Towards the end it felt like the only things really left to engage with were the bots. Upvoting and downvoting felt pointless, as every other post felt like it had been submitted and/or written by a bot, and the comments were so flooded with bots advertising, trying to get you to click on a link, and reposting portions of other comments. Towards the end you’d also see so many posts that were clips that bots had ripped from other videos, only without any sound (even when it was obvious that the sound had been crucial in supplying context to the scene).

      At least on Lemmy it doesn’t feel like it’s been flooded with that sort of drivel (just yet, anyway).
