Nope, since I left reddit I spend less time mindlessly looking at my phone. But I do enjoy lemmy in healthy doses.
I'm doing my part!
Yes I’ve definitely posted more here than Reddit. The only thing that keeps me from posting more is performance issues. There have been a few times when I wrote a response but the post button just spins and eventually I give up.
The opposite way for me.
I wouldn't say that I'm any more or less active a poster on Lemmy versus Reddit. If the community has a topic I'm interested in and engaging content, I will post and reply.
I've become a more avid lurker compared to a infrequent lurker on reddit
Smaller communities, more intimate experiences, and overall, the people you'd see here are most likely who won't accept or allow what Reddit now stands for.
I am defenitely more active here when posting, but, looking at my reddit-account it becomes clear I was an active commenter before I left.
Yeah I started posting here too
Always felt unwelcome posting anything on reddit. Lemmy is new enough and filled with people who are nice enough to make feel like I wont get yelled at for commenting or posting.
I'm having trouble because a lot of my usual interests haven't really made it here yet, and I don't have the time to be responsible for starting any communities
yeah I've experienced quite the opposite from OP, I notice quite some traffic at the classic reddit-like communities but if i want to talk about some specific topic the subscriber count still seems <100 (example, /c/bready has 334 subscribers
I don't really feel like creating a community for a topic I enjoy which I already see gaining little to no traffic
I guess most people flock to what they already know à la, showerthoughts AITA YSK etc
to me the current state of the feddiverse feels like a circlejerk of people who complain about reddit and praise lemmy over reddit instead of actually submitting engaging content whereas we coul.. wait I'm doing it too now!
Nah, but I'm definitely a more avid commenter!
That may or may not be a good thing.
I’m a more avid commenter but haven’t done a lot of posting yet. I also have two accounts for different instances and actually use them both unlike on Reddit where I had two and never used the alt.
I've come to start being more active too. I'm still trying to learn the ropes on posting, image sizes, etc. So far so good. Thank you Lemmy for getting me out of my (lurker) shell. I was active on the big R, but not as active as I am turning out to be on this platform.
Posting once or twice a day means you're posting (on average) 273x as much as you would on Reddit. That's a huge difference! 273x more posting would mean 273x more posts from people like you. (Of course, this is pretty optimistic).
I was on reddit for almost 15 years and i mostly just commented. I posted maybe 5 or 6 times at most. Been on lemmy for 2 days and im already at 3 (shitposts).
definitely find smaller sites like lemmy easier to post on since its much easier to repeat yourself on reddit and perhaps more modded so i refrain from saying a lot of stuff?
I'm for sure posting more in the communities that I really like and those that I want to see succeed.
I figure that the more we all interact, within reason, the more everything will grow.
It's a bit ironic that I've seen this exact same post about three times already. Apparently you're the only one posting stuff.
Or maybe I don't know how Lemmy works.
The default view is for "Active" posts. This thread is very active. Change to the dropdown from "Active" to "New" and you'll see other stuff. You can also change the view from "Posts" to "Comments" and see new comments to different threads.
if you're looking for new / smaller / diverse communities, you can try this: https://lemmyfind.quex.cc/
It sorts by the newest created communities first (regardless of instance) and you can filter it.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
