Here's the thing though... I've been on Reddit for over a decade before Lemmy, and whilst there may be less interaction the interactions themselves have been far more sincere. People are more willing to engage, and even with this random comment there's a chance someone would comment below.

The community feel of Lemmy is something, at least I've found, Reddit had lost a very long time ago.

Sort of a quality Vs quantity thing I guess?

It's sometimes unbearable on Lemmy. I have stated that using Linux is very hard for noobs and it's not useful still for general audience. I have got so many downvotes just because of this, you won't believe. It feels like community is Linux users , who are acting as nerds or are nerds, and they are somewhat inclusive of outsiders. Lemmy feels like a club for only the so called intellectuals and they want to barr regular person getting in. This is also evident with Lemmy worlds or alternative of subbreddits. If you try to find some they still don't exists. Further Lemmy is very hard to understand , even I struggle to understand how it works. But the access to different Lemmy's is good, via boost app. The Lemmy worlds though they don't look as polished as Reddit does but that's cause Lemmy is evolving. So in summary Quality of posts, strong sense of non inclusivity by lemmye'rs , understanding of how Lemmy works and old feel of Lemmy are the reasons is keeping people out.

I feel you. I don't give one single fuck about Linux. My lemmy experience got better when I filtered out Linux across the board. The "hive mind" here is way more super-geek than reddit ever was. I'm a craftsman, just about the only reason I turn my ~~computer~~ Chromebook on is to send invoices. And that makes a lot of lemmy mad it seems. I feel way more like this guy here than I ever did on reddit.

If Linux fandom is your biggest gripe, I'd say we're in pretty good shape here.

In fact kind of reminds me of how Reddit was back then.

It's novel for sure. But I miss being able to scream into a void

[–] Lilstinker69@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You still CAAAAAAAAANNN

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Scream not into the void, I may scream back.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago

Then it's not a void
