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.

    Was thinking the same thing. On reddit commenting seemed daunting or something, here it’s much easier to engage for some reason, long live lemmy!

      9/10 times I’d go to comment something and realise it’d already been said or it was just hectic and I just wouldn’t and it got to the point I just never bothered anymore.

        Yes, sorting Top/Hour helped, but I can do the same here and it still feels fresher, maybe because it’s fewer people and so far seems to be all actual people, not bots.

      Yeah seemed like there was always someone waiting round the corner to nitpick or find fault with something you said, kinda created a cagey vibe around actually taking part in the community imo

      I was on Reddit from maybe about 2008 until 2015ish. By the end I found that you couldn’t really say anything on there that wasn’t exactly what the orthodoxy was, or you’d just be downvoted to oblivion.

      I don’t think it was organic.
