definitely find smaller sites like lemmy easier to post on since its much easier to repeat yourself on reddit and perhaps more modded so i refrain from saying a lot of stuff?
Not yet, but in Reddit in recent years I mostly posted in niche little places for interests I didn’t know there was a community for. I’m just hoping they will migrate or evolve over here because I found so many fun little hobbies because of the organic finding of new subs that Reddit seemed to foster.
And I have a 4mo old baby so that limits my time too. Every day though there is more and more, so I’m hoping I’ll be a contributor to help it grow soon!
I absolutely did, at least for commenting. Partly because I want to create traffic for Lemmy, and partly because it feels just… Nicer here. More genuine interaction, less quippy one liners or insults.
I rarely posted on Reddit, mostly because I would try to find a conversation already in progress instead of making my own post. Also, my posts rarely caught that much traction. I commented a lot more frequently, several times a week. I’m still fairly infrequent, mostly because in my early internet years I posted A LOT of cringe on Facebook/Myspace so I tend to be a little more measured in my internet footprint now.
It’s a bit ironic that I’ve seen this exact same post about three times already. Apparently you’re the only one posting stuff.
Or maybe I don’t know how Lemmy works.
I wouldn’t say that I’m any more or less active a poster on Lemmy versus Reddit. If the community has a topic I’m interested in and engaging content, I will post and reply.
