Reddit gets a lot more votes and comments.. but I think the number of people actually talking to each other is about the same. Most the comments are just noise.

My last year of Reddit (prior to the API purge) was very much filled with low effort comments. You get a lot of votes and comments but the votes don't matter and the comments are largely empty one-liners. I doubt it's gotten better since I left.

I'd say even the assholes on Lemmy put more effort into the comments than Redditors do. Except tankies who just love to flood the comments with their copy paste list of sources for "everything".

The votes matter even less here, so there's no reason to drop empty one liners you think might get karma.

I would deny that. From my experience you're having much more conversations on Lemmy. If I posted a meme on Reddit I regularly got like 200 Upvotes and 0 comments. On Lemmy I usually get around 100 Upvotes and around 15 comments or so. This is a comparison between the same community on Reddit/Lemmy.

I think you are mostly right, but sometimes I am missing the high quality answers here. You know, the ones where someone really puts in thought or seems to be an expert. Or maybe I haven't found the right communities yet.

We have a toxicity problem here. Reddit's is far worse but it's also a far larger platform, which compensates somewhat. Enhancing the effectiveness of moderation tools may help.

SO MANY people comment here sth like "I'd post that but people are so mean". It's really hard to please everyone, especially those who love and those who despise toxicity in the same space, and all the more so with tools that barely function.

Thank you for linking this. I’m always looking for something interesting on here to scroll through on my lunch break.
