I realized I interacted / posted / commented less and less on reddit these last couple of years. Couldn’t even tell you why exactly. Now I’ve been here for a week and, I don’t know, I just like interacting again… Hope it stays like this for a while :)
This is my first comment on lemmy, and I’m making it because you’re absolutely right. It’s almost habbit at this point to hold back and lurk after years of being used to a huge crowd. Defaulting to reading the disscusion but not adding anything to it. But this reminds me a lot of the way smaller forums and neiche communities feel, where there’s still room to add something to the thread without needing to yell it. Glad to be here and starting to appreciate the differences already
