Idk how to explain it and I imagine it’s been said plenty of times by now but it’s just, way easier to engage with posts here, usually on Reddit I’d just ignore the whole commenting aspect and just scroll through media.
I like this change, it reminds me of older social media platforms I used to use that were fairly small, player.me for instance.
Lemmy right now feels much more like traditional forums which is a good thing I think. Only time will tell if it actually stays like that or not long term.
This has been my general sense of it as well, and likely the reason why Tildes is also popular for those looking for a Reddit-alternative. They’re quieter platforms allowing for a more engaging conversation between people of similar interests. I’m excited to see how this all shapes out.
