We've had plenty of questions about what people miss from reddit that Lemmy had, or what they hope doesn't come to Lemmy from reddit in future, but do you miss from the earlier days, before reddit that you would like to come back?

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.
