I've felt more compelled to contribute to the "Fediverse" than I ever did on Reddit. (kbin.social)

Over the last week or so I have noticed that I have a lot more fun engaging in discussions on here as opposed to reddit.

On reddit i always felt like i was shouting into the void and there was nobody listening, which resulted in me becoming a lurker for the last 12 years.

Maybe it's the small size of this community, the lack of karma farmers, that I've finally lost my mind or a little bit of all of the above, but this place just feels like something special. I'm really looking forward to building the fediverse with all of you!

I was never a lurker on reddit. I liked commenting, but the community feeling is much more substantial on kbin (and fediverse in general).

I find the engagement here more real than I ever did on reddit for twelve years.

First thing I noticed when moving to kbin is that I see what I want to see, and have only talked to people who felt like humans so far.

This is what's so hard to convey about the Fediverse lol. Mastodon is obviously not everybody's cup of tea, but when I made my account it was kinda shocking to me how I communicated with actual people. No ads in the feed. Took time to find good content but it was there.

Still haven't found much good content on Mastodon, but I'm really liking the platform and app

Exactly. On Reddit, most of the time there was not point commenting, because of the sheer size of the audience. Here, I can actually contribute!

Absolutely, but I think we will have to be vigilant to keep that culture here as the place continues to grow.

I hope we can do that while keeping gatekeeping to a minimum.

100% agreed!
