There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

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 excited to be here since it feels like the old reddit community, which I missed over time. I’m just kind of tired of what reddit become as a platform and as a community. It was so nice early on, but as it gained popularity just became more toxic in various ways.

Nope. This website has a very specific demographic and a ton of more “casual”, non-tech/internet topics see zero activity in here, for the simple reason that there’s virtually no interest or demand for them amongst the Fediverse users.

Deleting my Reddit account made me look for already stablished forums on certain topics tho.

For example, I tried to recreate the Powerlifting community here and it’s completely dead lol. It’s just me posting a couple times per week hoping someone else joins me. There are around 50 subscribers but they only upvote my posts.

Today OP ,

Kind of makes me want to subscribe to the powerlifting community just to cheer you on.

I’m mostly a lurker wherever I go, but I’ll think about posting something there. 🙂

Today OP ,

Doesn’t matter what the base user group is; the cats are always there!

If cats grew thumbs, we would be fucked, lemme tell ya.

I used to be lot more active in my early days on r/ then as more it started to attract a crowd I started to be less active. Last few years I was just browsing and answering dms I received on my old threads for info.

Now that I am fediverse I feel myself at home. No more rage arguments and peaceful exchanges.

I would say, yes I am more active here. And I like feeling at home.

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?

Nemo ,

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

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.

Not sure if more or less, but I definitely love to check in during the day. feelslikehome.jpg

minorsecond ,

Yes. I think it’s because I’m a monthly supporter though. It seems to have a big psychological effect in that I want my money’s worth, and I want Lemmy to succeed. So I comment and post quite a bit to help keep communities active.

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

otter_bee ,
@otter_bee@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Thekingoflorda ,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

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…

BaroqueInMind ,
@BaroqueInMind@kbin.social avatar

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.

Feeling republican! I’m freaking dying!!

I’m on less as there’s less content of interest to me and I’m not a zealot. This is just another social media platform.

kuneho ,

I think I do, but only because, after using reddit, I know, or at least I have enough knowledge how these kind of forums work and can “work off” my initial excitement productively.

shit, I remember when first saw reddit, and the default frontpage, I had absolutely zero idea what’s going on. it was legit scary… had a bit of lerning curve, so most of the time I was just (trying to) lurk around.

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.

npmstart_pray ,

I’m actually just enjoying watching things here grow, come to life. I’m loving the energy of that. It’s so positive.
