Honestly Lemmy is much better than I thought it would be. My main problem is the lack of some niche communities that are on Reddit. For example as a GW2 player I get all my news about game updates & store discounts etc from the GW2 subreddit, but I don’t see Lemmy taking that over anytime soon, if ever. Maybe I’ll need to use a Reddit scraper for that, if I want to completely abandon the platform.
What I dislike about Reddit is the system of incentivizing karma farming. This leads to unhealthy posting behaviors that always bugged me. So far to me it seems Lemmy does not have that, so it’s a huge win.
Well lemmy.ml/c/guildwars2 exist, we just have to revive it!

I’m still going to lurk
Same
I lurked because everything I had to say had already been said, or so it seemed.
Seems like, with less users, that’s less likely to happen. Been nice.
no lurking? okay hi
hail from another lurker
I have commented more here in 2 days than in the past year on reddit, somehow when it’s a smaller community like this it’s much easier for me
For me I think it has to do with the fact that by the time I got to a thread on reddit, everything that could possibly be said about the topic usually had been said already. How many times would you visit a thread only to find that exactly what you were going to say is already the top comment?
or the top 30 comments were stupid circle jerk jokes
Yeah, although I regret not being more active in calling out people parroting reddit’s culture. With a lot of people joining at once, it’s easy for the local cultures to be overwhelmed and become much like the place they left.
I have been trying to comment instead of just lurking. Its against my natural tendencies, but I want to see this place live, so I thought I would be the change I want to see in the world.
Man, to me all of this smells the internet from the 2000s and I can’t tell how excited I am
Oh bring the good ol’ sweaty LAN parties.
I’m commenting to boost engagement!
bro same!
