Reddit Migration

Same here. It’s feels a lot more welcoming to post in topics!

the fediverse feels a lot more welcoming to interact with tbh, with reddit you had

>astroturfing

>reposters

>puns and shitposts soaring to the top of comments / subs, real discussion buried

and i dont feel any of that here

Reddit has a high percentage of bots and shills so this is still real people thus more welcoming.

Here, I feel that I can experience a similar feeling to the fun of the pioneering rural countryside, where people cut through the wasteland to build fields and houses, and discuss the news over tea with their neighbors.

Yes, Ive got the same thing. I did use Reddit to ask stuff, but never engaged in discussions as it didn't seem to matter. Whenever something had hit the front page, new comments wouldn't be seen.

On Lemmy I've been very active, and people are just nicer. Also I want to make certain communities a success so I do even more my best to post content.

I can relate very much.

for the first time in a longer time, I see that most commented are just nice and honest instead of the cascade of misunderstanding and closed minded discussions I sometimes had on Reddit.

@Deralax and you can interact with people outside of kbin too. The fediverse really is awesome.

I, like many of the other replies, feel quite the same. Although I think the highlight of this for me is just how less aggressive and how much more receptive and open to discussion people have been. tbf i still mostly lurk but I've commented more here in a few days than I have in the final few years I was on reddit.

@Deralax I feel that's more related with platform addiction. Since COVID 19 Reddit became more a news stand.
Look at r/popular 11 of each 10 posts are news related and not like a generic piece of news. Feels that they're perfectly selected to create toxic comments which at the same time droves people to look for more toxic news.

Reddit is a platform designed about being toxic and addictive while Lemmy/Kbin are designed as a way to connect with people that shares your same interests.

I feel the same way I almost never commented on reddit, but here I feel like its just much easier to

I did not see any SteamDeckEmu replacement so I made my own. I would have never have done that on Reddit. The future of the Fediverse depends on the content provided by the users! Unlike Reddit, there are no bots generating content and this is solely a human focused network

I've been feeling the same way. It's why I've been much more active in comment chains and why I've replied to a lot more posts, though I still have a bit of trouble with actually posting.

Casuals/normies ruin everything. Every social media platform deteriorates over time as more people join. At the moment, the majority of people here are actually genuinely interested in civil discussion and debate and the people who just spam low effort comments and karma farm remain on reddit.
