    The more I’m starting to understand how to navigate it all, the easier it’s getting to leave it behind and not look at it

      Yeah, now that I’m more comfortable, Lemmy is great. Just need the bodies here to make it more active.

          Oh yeah, I didn’t quite grasp it until I saw the latest graph where each point measures a single day

      Same never would´ve guessed it two weeks earlier but I´m not looking back to Reddit although using it for 13 years. Lemmy is a great and new alternative.

      now i’ve wrapped my head around the federation stuff, i find it super cool! finding an instance you like and want to use is part of the fun and i enjoy seeing users from all different instances participating.

    I haven’t posted much on Reddit about this whole kerfuffle lately (I feel myself winding down over there) but I got wildly different results when mentioning Kbin/Lemmy on different threads and different subreddits. Sometimes huge upvotes and positivity, sometimes huge downvotes and anger. Such is Reddit when the hivemind hasn’t settled on a narrative yet I suppose.

    I can understand why some people get angry, if they personally are preferring to stay on Reddit for whatever reason. These new things “threaten” their comfortable and familiar lifestyle, they’re an “enemy team.” Their anger is stupid, but understandable. I can understand stupid.

        Specially effective on subs with weird posting rules (john oliver etc etc) where people are confused.

      I’ve mentioned Lemmy before and some people just responded to my comments today

      but I think I’ve only mentioned Lemmy once on there maybe twice

    Ah well, it’s their loss honestly. Plenty of great little sites out there, they probably just want to lurk and not contribute

        To be fair, every time I click on a Reddit post on my home page, it is usually filled with all kinds of comments that I can and can’t think of already. So not much incentive to leave a comment instead of upvote/downvote.

        But here probably because of the low user count, essentially we are the one that are leaving those “all kinds of comments”.

        Yeah it’s more fun when you don’t have a string of 5 trolls after your comment telling you how much you suck.

    I honestly don’t understand the desire to entice people from reddit.

    If people want to leave, they will.

    While most want to hear “readed” fails (or see they’re errors being recognized), they hate to hear the promotion of an alternative when they just want to see the downfall
