I have noticed that I interact a lot more in Lemmy than I ever did in any social media. Let it be Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter… I am used to be the lurker, but here for some reason things are different. Wonder if more people feel like I do.

    Same for me, I maybe replied 4/5 times in many years on reddit and I feel I’ve engaged with more conversations in the 3 months I’m on lemmy. Maybe having a smaller community leaves out the “someone else will comment” attitude.

      I think less people makes it harder to get lost so it’s worth commenting. If you sort Reddit by hot, there’s already thousands of comments and most likely no one is ever going to see your post. So why bother? Most of my posts on Reddit are in small subreddits for pretty much the same reason I comment more here.
