I've done more commenting in this post today than I have on Reddit all year
I feel that.
I got woken up after 1 year of inactivity/lurking.
You're right, I'll try. I enjoy reading, but often get overwhelmed with trying to respond, so I end up just giving up and not finishing my

I already blocked access to reddit on my network, so lurking is not an option for me ;)

One thing that might keep people off is how communities are created/duplicated on Lemmy. I mean you can have the exact same community but on different instances. Then you start asking yourself which one should I join? or perhaps both? This definitely will confuse people.
subscribe to all of them and play with the feed options and sorting order. it takes a little getting used to, but it seems intuitive once you're subscribed to a bunch of stuff. If the mobile clients develop this should become easier to manage from a UX standpoint.

After 14 years on reddit I’m tired of watching it die, the death of Apollo is what pushed me over the edge, I loved Apollo. I’ve been browsing in here for the past few days. I like it. Trying to get used to it. Fuck reddit and u/spez all of the situation was trash. Thank you all for recommending this site!! I’m excited to be apart of it!

i suppose i will not lurk
I feel you, samta, I feel you
Don't tell me what to do!
Ah shit...
Ok, you win this round.
Alright sir, I shall upvote and comment whenever I feel I have something useful to add!
Well, I did quite literally just get this instance set up, so I guess just posting random comments is necessary.
And random replies! Discussions are what makes a social media, social. :)

I think, for mass appeal lemmy will ultimatively need communities for popular topics (games, trends, etc.), which can bring in lots of new users. From what I've seen so far the topics are still rather niche, or can't compete with identical communites on major platforms. When the traction starts getting big enough, it might just run on its own.
This comment is also more or less a test, trying out the platform.
we all know its going to take a while, but the years of work behind ActivityPub and real world implementatiins like Lemmy are beginning to bear fruit - for the benefit of us all.
you're here right now. that says a lot.
I first saw lemmy a few months ago, but forgot about it. The recent Reddit events have sparked interest again, and I am feeling adventurous. Major Social media platforms seem to collapse / mess up one after the other now, and the concept behind federation is very intriguing (especially that part that even different applications can communicate with each other thanks to ActivityPub).

Long time no see, Lemmy. I hope Reddit ending is for the best, and I hope all my precious communities migrate to open source software.
I couldnt say it better. Social media must be controlled by the people using it. There is no other option except bad products promoting dangerous ideas to keep people rich.
Just delete all of my posts and a 12-year old reddit account. So long Reddit...
Same here. 14 years gone. :)
Now we are here and moving forward. Not to anyone reading be sure to check out other instances too!
Bluto: "Christ. Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the fucking Peace Corps."
I'm not lurking. You are!
Huh. So that's how you comment!
Lemmy is the light for all the reddit lurkers! We will get there!
It’s a bit difficult getting into Lemmy and the feediverse I gotta say. But after looking around for a while I really like how things work here, compared to reddit

I've been on reddit for far longer than I'd care to admit. It's been a weird feeling deleting all of my bookmarks and apps in an attempt to avoid just absently mindedly returning.
Reporting for duty!

Hello
Hello. Im seeing if this reply works. I honestly only ever lurked so I don't really know how this works but this post resonated with me so time to come out of the shell.
Agreed! I am curious with this, how did you guys find out about Lemmy? In my case, I was scrolling through Reddit and saw somebody talking about Lemmy. I researched a little bit and here I am! I would love to hear from y'all tho
