Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I've started posting multiple times a day.
You're viewing a single thread.
I was mostly a lurker on Reddit, but the smaller community on Lemmy has made it so others actually see my comments. On Reddit they would just get lost in the thousands of other comments.
There are definite upsides to having a smaller community.
And having multiple instances with specific theme (country, TV show, games) also engages people to post and comment more.
It's like talking to people on your neighborhood while Reddit is nation wide and everything is seeking attention
