Still trying to find my footings. The thing I miss most is active engagement. The comment sections sometimes feel so empty. But I will give it time. All in all, I find the experience better than I anticipated. Using wefwef on my phone and the instance-site on my desktop and laptop. I am sure a decent app will be developed in time.
I felt that at first but I've found the engagement to be more meaningful here when it does happen, even though it's sometimes sparse or not at all. I came in the previous influx after spez started forcing subs open. I don't really miss it that much now.
I was pretty much a strict lurker on Reddit, so the smaller community here is certainly a bit of a change for me. Only thing for me to do is to change my habits with it, and start actually joining in and adding to the conversations.
Howdy!
In recognition of your contribution to the community, I present you with the coveted Lemmy Lemon award.
🍋
Please let's make the Lemmy Lemon award an unofficially official thing. After reading that I want people to use it more
Let's make it a wheel of cheese. Gotta keep the french happy or they riot 😅
Bruh💀
Bah! Let them have cake. 🍰
🍋
I like this idea! Take your Lemmy Lemon. 🍋
Your enthusiasm for this idea earns you a Lemmy Lemon 🍋 friendo, I like it too
Glad you are here!
Gosh I sure love it here. Everybody is so kind & nice. This is such a better feeling place. I enjoy conversing with everyone so far. Reading these comment sections just makes me feel calm too 🥰
I’ve been here 20 some days now and I still feel this way. Great community on this instance. I mod 4 communities and have yet to take a moderator action against a comment or post. It’s a nice little chill slice of internet.
Thank you! I’m glad to be here!
As a former reddit lurker, I like the more low-key engagement here. It feels more welcoming.
You have summed up my feelings exactly.
Greetings, fellow lurker! The torch has been passed. It is our turns to carry it until the communities grow larger and we can recede back to the shadows
Agree the big thread here are pretty comparable, but are still missing a lot of small subreddit/thread.
