Reddit Migration

Ok here's my first comment! Enjoying kbin so far and I love that I can interact with lemmy and mastodon as well.

nowadays I just lurk reddit to see how the dumpster fire is burning. I try to contribute here more.

I agree and I have been. Cheers to making this space better for everyone.

I'm very rarely submit a post on Reddit (mostly commenting, only submited a handful of posts in my 13 years of redditing across multiple accounts), but I'm trying to be more active here. We absolutely need more contents!

Ha, I feel better about posting here than reddit. I want to encourage more people to come over, but not sure of the best way.

Lifelong lurker here, you can’t force me to post! Oh, wait… shakes fist

I'll try my best.
I usually lurked, threw the odd vote out there but usually kept to myself on Reddit.
I was already on Mastodon so am familiar with the fediverse, but setting up a kbin instance was a learning curve and a half!
Took me a while to work out how to find and subscribe to magazines on other instances, but shortly after I did I realised that you can subscribe to Lemmy communities in the same way. No more worrying about which app is busier, as it just doesnt matter too much. Just use what you prefer, its the fediverse way.
I'm eagerly awaiting the Android app 👍

I've been a lurker on Rəddit for almost a decade, but I've never been on such a commenting spree as I've been in the past couple of weeks.

Back on there, I was maybe, posting comments once a week on the average. There might be spurts of activity as I get involved in a discussion, but that usually happens once every a couple of months. In contrast, here, I've made a couple of hundred comments in just less than twenty days. That's more comments than I would have ordinarily made in half a year over on the other side.

Also, while my posting over on the other side isn't stellar, only having made a handful of posts over my nearly a decade over there, here, I've already made three--not much, but still way a lot more activity than I'm used to. I find commenting and engaging with others in threads a lot easier than starting my own thread. It's kinda scary.

Having said all that, I think what is needed here is not just "more content" but more quality and engaging content. While a dead community where no one's talking is bad, I also hate to see communities devolve into spamming sessions in effort to push up activity.

EDIT: Added a word for clarification.
