I'd like to encourage people on the fediverse to comment/upvote/post more than when reddit
If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)
It took me a few days to realize that I could comment on threads without getting bombarded by every troll on the internet. The reddit conditioning is hard to break.
That kinda comes with smaller communities, I think.
I'm sure toxic people will figure out lemmy eventually too, but for now it's been nice.
The only subreddit I still care about has been private from the start and has between 300-400 people in it who have been randomly invited over time.
Post or comment every week and get kicked.
On the whole, lemmy reminds me of that place a bit since the communities are smaller and idk how to put this but that feels. .. more human?
