Why do you lurk?
I used to be a lurker when on Reddit. I’d post here and there but mostly just kept to myself. It was because something as large as Reddit felt like shouting into the void.
On Lemmy, the communities are small, and so are the instances. Is it lack of something to say, anxiety, or you’re a bot? What’s up!
I find myself being way more active on Lemmy & Mastodon than on Reddit & Twitter.
I think it’s partially habit, Reddit became so big that it felt more like passive entertainment a lot of the time and then that physicy carried over when I got a lemmy account and realized it’s going to be a lot smaller
Generally though I do post and comment a bit more but of course the content is also quite different so it’s just going to take a little bit of time to settle in
TL,DR; you’re not my real dad
While you’re under my internet roof, you’ll live by my internet rules!
It does feel much different. Reminds me more of the MySpace days. I’m loving Lemmy and the fediverse as a whole.
I second this. I was a pretty classic lurker on Reddit. It just felt like what is the point. When I got over here and started interacting and seeing it is not a void was pretty cool. But yeah still trying to flex that muscle starting slow with comments haha.
