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
When it gets overwhelmed with users it eventually becomes a monoculture and then devolves into an echo chamber. I slowly became a more functional user with time, but generally stuck to the 1-2 subreddits that I thought were worth participating in, and observed the rest.
The smaller community is really a blessing, rather than a curse. I've seen this come up on reddit again and again: the best subs are the small ones that cater to niche interests. Lemmy is essentially composed entirely of those small subreddits right now.
Hopefully it stays that way.
Well yes but for these niche interest subs to work the platform as a whole needs enough users, because only a small % will visit these subs.
