Rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it's technological news, it probably belongs here.

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

What's weird is that I never used Reddit as much as I use Lemmy over last few days 😅

I'm not quite sure why, but Lemmy has the same effect on me.

I was pretty active on Reddit, but Lemmy feels different somehow. I genuinely want to engage multiple communities and post way more often.

The community is young so it feels good to add to it and make it bigger.

I feel you. I try to make a point of commenting even though before I probably wouldn’t. I think Lemmy can really work, but we need to put in the effort.

I think it’s because there are less of us so posts are not full of ”this is the way” comments on the top burying all the discussion. Also usually someone had already said what I would’ve said anyway 😄

I'm having the opposite experience. I feel like it's already so active here I can't keep up in bigger communities like this one.

Probably because if you don’t contribute content, there won’t be any.
