Idk how to explain it and I imagine it’s been said plenty of times by now but it’s just, way easier to engage with posts here, usually on Reddit I’d just ignore the whole commenting aspect and just scroll through media.

I like this change, it reminds me of older social media platforms I used to use that were fairly small, player.me for instance.

    Lemmy right now feels much more like traditional forums which is a good thing I think. Only time will tell if it actually stays like that or not long term.

      This has been my general sense of it as well, and likely the reason why Tildes is also popular for those looking for a Reddit-alternative. They’re quieter platforms allowing for a more engaging conversation between people of similar interests. I’m excited to see how this all shapes out.

        Right now the prevailing Reddit migration path seems to be:

        • Do you want the cat pics and shitposts with the occasional discussion that may or may not get heated? if so, check out Lemmy
        • Do you want to read and write paragraphs of insightful comments about stuff with absolutely none of the fluff? If so, check out Tildes

        The middle ground is checking in on both IMO. Also I guess squabbles or whatever also exist but I have no idea how well they’re doing.

      Exactly. This site feels like reddit when I joined it in 2013/4. I suppose I got accustomed to modern reddit, and that isn’t all sunshine and rainbows!
