I think the only 'problem' I have is that the content is relatively scarce. I too need to put more effort into commenting and posting, like every one else should too.
That being said, I do like the idea of not using reddit anymore. I swear I am way more productive, even with the time spent on Lemmy. The community seems (at least generally speaking) more wholesome.
There are subreddits that I do miss, I am checking every week if they migrated, hoping they will make it!
Iβm the same, the smaller community is nice, getting involved feels much less intimidating here. I think the majority of people that came here were the users from Reddit who welcomed positive discussion, which tells us what we can expect from Reddit in the coming monthsβ¦
The crazy thing is that I find myself commenting way more in here. If I was to answer to an askreddit thread, it would just get lost, but since the community here is smaller, it feels like every comment has more relevance
My same experience as well. I'd often see a help-wanted post or a question post and head into the comments to try and help, but often the question was already answered sufficiently. There's no problem with that of course, but it also eliminated any need of my comments. Here it is small enough atm I've found it useful to go in and do that wherever I can make a contribution.
I had the same experience moving to mastodon from twitter, I get way more engagement on mastodon. Feels good!
Void Yelling. Sometimes I should start typing what I thought would be a helpful response, but stop when I realized it was a major sub and it's been up for 5 hours.
