Do you find that you're on the fed more than you were on r/ just because you're really really excited to watch your favorite communities become more active?

I do, but as more people join I’m also feeling a little republican - i got my spot and this is good; everyone on the outside can go fuck off now. I don’t want it to get so big that it’s what we left. No intended disrespect or lack of acknowledgment to those who were here before.

I’m using Lemmy about the same as I did Reddit but the difference is my level of interaction.

Speaking of little republicans, r/tinytrumps can stay on reddit. It was funny at first but got very repetitive.

kind of hope the political discussions stay in their respective communities. I agreed with most or really almost all of reddit’s hivemind, but was so tired of seeing some comparison to politics in every single subreddit, even some of my more niche ones.

Me too, but I doubt it. I’m a mod for u/news, and I’m already seeing a lot of useless discussions where two people get more and more angry with each other without changing anyone’s opinion.

Today OP ,

No one changes sides. It’s just a contest to see who can be louder…

I like the fediverse. It reminds me of the old school Internet days - IRC, usenet, etc., before all the corporate tech bros muscled in. I'd prefer for it to stick, but I have some fears about it. I hope everything will be ok.

I do feel a little lost looking for my old Reddit communities, but I keep hoping we'll just cross paths again. For now, I'm just sitting back and enjoying the firehose.

Today OP ,

I don’t know what the fire hose is. Do you know what the Mexican fireman named his sons?

Yes, and I think I've been too enthusiastic posting content because I'm starting to see people shit on me for specific comments, however I deserve it since people are actually actively policing people here in kbin and Lemmy and it's refreshing to see people care about the communities that are being built here.

Today OP ,

You do you! If you have stuff to say, say it! If other people don’t think it’s a valid contribution, they can skip over it.

I’ve noticed that I use Lemmy much more than I use reddit. I think there is loads of things to improve but i like it.

mouldycotton ,

In a way. Feels like watching some plant slowly grow bigger and bigger. Fingers crossed it all works out 🤞

Today OP ,

This! It’s like watching a baby bird grow up and learn to fly, hoping he doesn’t crash in the driveway.

woomp ,

I don’t think we’re close to the point where the content is becoming watery because of oversaturation. I’m excited about exploring/watching our fediverse grow.

However, though I understand the point of having the same c/cats or whatever communities across different instances, while everything is still beginning it’s hard to gain momentum in any because they’re so spread thin. I realize this diversification is one of the entire points of the fediverse, but when you search and see 4 duplicates it makes it hard to know which to join. Especially for niche communities in the future. I’ve ended up just subbing to all of them in those situations which I’m not sure is what I’m supposed to be doing (or maybe that’s the answer?.

Today OP ,

I love cats, but I’m pretty happy with the ones i followed on r/ being here - cats with jobs, standard issue cat, and all orange cats share one brain cell. I do wish we had a few more cannabis communities. I’m missing r/treedibles even though it was kind of a shit show of stupidity.

I've found that I'm checking Kbin a lot less than I checked the other place, but I'm participating more because there's a lot less toxicity and hostility here (at least for the time being).

Chasm ,

Aww, I can be toxic for you if you want 😊 that way you’ll have to leave social media, exercise, see the world and be healthier. 😎

skullone ,

Your mom is toxic! Oooooooh!

Chasm ,

NO! U!!1!!!

Rozz ,

I’ve been on a lot recently because it’s a shiny new thing and I want to figure out how it works, but I also want new people to join so it get bigger and has better and more varied content.

Chasm ,

Make lemmy QR codes and put them on the street, throw them at people, rent a billboard, hire marketers, build a multinational marketing enterprise dedicated to the promotion of Lemmy. Make astroturfing gpt bots.

iRyu ,

I really enjoy the content on lemmy compared to r/. I think the loss of moderation tools over there has made a bunch of crap float to the top. Here it feels more authentic, I guess?

Chasm ,

Lemmy had much fewer moderation tools. It’s not the lack of mod tools. In fact, mod tools are still alive because reddit delayed their death for a week or so. The problem, more than mod tools, is behavior and demographic changes.

CorruptBuddha ,

Definitely not haha! But that’s not a bad thing. Lemmy feels less addicting.

Chasm ,

I procrastinated work for 2 straight weeks when lemmy came out. Deadline is now past and I’m still deep into the task and being threatened with retaliation for not finishing on time. 🤔 That had never happened to me with reddit at all, not even close.

thorbot ,

About the same amount, just a way to kill time and find out about topics I enjoy as well as something to make me laugh. So happy there’s finally an iOS app Memmy now!

There are actually way more, but you need testflight to use them.

There’s one exception: wefwef.app which you can just add as a webapp.

Nemo ,

I’m more active here because the UX is better.

sexy_peach ,

I am always way more active on the fediverse alternative than on the original. Fuck corporate social media. I have been burned so many times. I constantly have to fight off ads and high battery and storage usage.

Ignacio ,

Now that you mention it, I'm watching and scrolling Lemmy/Kbin since I wake up until I go to bed. I only enjoy some relax to cook, to eat and to play video games.
