Hey fellow redfugees!
Welcome! It's nice and comfy here, if a little less of an infinite content-hose compared to Reddit. You might need to do a little more heavy lifting yourself in terms of posting and commenting, but on the plus side - people actually read what you post, instead of being drowned by a deluge of spam and bots! And discussions are mostly friendly and civil!
I kind of like that we have to choose to participate to make this work. Sharing something might actually be worthwhile. I’ve had my fair share of viral posts in my day, but posting hasn’t been a priority of mine since before the days of Lord Gallowboob.
It’s refreshing to be in an actual community.
I kinda like that it's smaller here in terms of content and users. I left reddit back at the API thing, I'd been on there over ten years and was spending easily an hour or two a day on there. Here, I pop in, check it out, get a similar experience - but I don't get stuck in endless scrolling or stupid arguments. Instead I'm reading more books.
And it also actively prevents doomscrolling when you see the same post multiple times.
Yes that's what I've found! There's less of it but the quality is far better, the atmosphere is far better and it's like reddit used to be years ago. I've missed all that and I'm so glad I found lemmy. ☺️
I prefer redxiter.
