If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)

It took me a few days to realize that I could comment on threads without getting bombarded by every troll on the internet. The reddit conditioning is hard to break.
Things are much more polite over here, for now, and that’s nice.
That kinda comes with smaller communities, I think.
I’m sure toxic people will figure out lemmy eventually too, but for now it’s been nice.
The only subreddit I still care about has been private from the start and has between 300-400 people in it who have been randomly invited over time.
Post or comment every week and get kicked. On the whole, lemmy reminds me of that place a bit since the communities are smaller and idk how to put this but that feels. … more human?
Yeah, turns out reddit notifications made me very anxious. It was never “oh, somebody answered me” it was always “Ugh, what now?!”. I even turned off completely the notificationson my phone, I only knew there were some when I opened the app and saw a number.
Seeing multiple ones just got me into “Oh, no” territory.
