My Initial Impression about Lemmy
My Initial Impression about Lemmy
I had joined Reddit twice in my lifetime but was not actively using it, and maybe that’s the reason I’m not very familiar with this forum culture.
I would say that Lemmy is by far the most responsive SNS in terms of the community engagement that I’ve ever used.
You're viewing a single thread.
We all feel a responsibility to be active here ngl. So many of us have made new communities we wanted and just keep posting there to grow communities.
My total activity on only this one Lemmy account is more than all my social media ever combined. And thats just one of my 7 Lemmy accounts.
I feel like it has something to do with the fact that there's less content, so when you post something, it's actually going to be seen by people.
I didn't post or comment anything the last couple years on Reddit, largely because it increasingly felt like shouting into the void.
Yeah Lemmy is a smaller more intimate community. In fact I'm sure we've interacted before. Thats just the nature of the platform (and a positive).
Also why I don't really agree with people who think the number 1 goal of Lemmy is to grow.
Even if Lemmy outgrew reddit, that small-scale vibe could still be maintained very easily by any specific community with the federation tools.
The only reason I want Lemmy to grow is because I miss having niche video game communities with more than a dozen members :c
Discord is increasingly filling that role now, but there are a large number of reasons why I'm not really a fan of that as a replacement.
Mostly I just want to talk about the new Factorio expansion with everyone...
Insane effort. 🫡
I want to say that I appreciate the effort.
