I never even had an account on reddit but on lemmy i post shit ?

Psythik ,

Just you. I comment the same amount I always have, omaybe slightly less.

wef ,

definitely find smaller sites like lemmy easier to post on since its much easier to repeat yourself on reddit and perhaps more modded so i refrain from saying a lot of stuff?

Nah, but I’m definitely a more avid commenter!

That may or may not be a good thing.

Waitwuhtt ,

Yeah my Reddit account had maybe 5 posts in 13 years.

Beat that on day 1 of Lemmy!

I’m in this boat. I just want to see lemmy succeed as a legit Reddit alternative.

Not yet, but in Reddit in recent years I mostly posted in niche little places for interests I didn’t know there was a community for. I’m just hoping they will migrate or evolve over here because I found so many fun little hobbies because of the organic finding of new subs that Reddit seemed to foster.

And I have a 4mo old baby so that limits my time too. Every day though there is more and more, so I’m hoping I’ll be a contributor to help it grow soon!

I post way more than I ever did on reddit

dfc09 ,

I absolutely did, at least for commenting. Partly because I want to create traffic for Lemmy, and partly because it feels just… Nicer here. More genuine interaction, less quippy one liners or insults.

Propane ,

I certainly have.

bblkargonaut ,

You have to add kindling to build the fire, and thats why I try not to only lurk here.

Propane ,

It’s absolutely more work to not just lurk, but it’s way more fulfilling.

I rarely posted on Reddit, mostly because I would try to find a conversation already in progress instead of making my own post. Also, my posts rarely caught that much traction. I commented a lot more frequently, several times a week. I’m still fairly infrequent, mostly because in my early internet years I posted A LOT of cringe on Facebook/Myspace so I tend to be a little more measured in my internet footprint now.

Mdotaut801 ,

For sure! That’s because I was banned, though. I said something to trumpers in a thread that was just apparently too much. Happy to be here, though.

The_Mike_Drop ,

No, I still remain a lousy human

Atomdude ,

It’s a bit ironic that I’ve seen this exact same post about three times already. Apparently you’re the only one posting stuff.
Or maybe I don’t know how Lemmy works.

givesomefucks ,

Default sort for posts is “active”.

So older threads show up on the front page, and because that’s what people see first, it’s what they comment on.

Which keeps the post on “active” for longer.

You may want to sort by “new” or “top hour”/“top 6 hours” to see newer posts.

More people doing that and engaging with newer posts means they’ll show up on the default “active” sort.

Atomdude ,

See, I had a feeling I didn’t know how it worked. Thanks for the pointers!

The default view is for “Active” posts. This thread is very active. Change to the dropdown from “Active” to “New” and you’ll see other stuff. You can also change the view from “Posts” to “Comments” and see new comments to different threads.

if you’re looking for new / smaller / diverse communities, you can try this: lemmyfind.quex.cc

It sorts by the newest created communities first (regardless of instance) and you can filter it.
