I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.
Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.
I’m not quite sure why, but Lemmy has the same effect on me.
I was pretty active on Reddit, but Lemmy feels different somehow. I genuinely want to engage multiple communities and post way more often.
I feel you. I try to make a point of commenting even though before I probably wouldn’t. I think Lemmy can really work, but we need to put in the effort.
I’m having the opposite experience. I feel like it’s already so active here I can’t keep up in bigger communities like this one.
