Personally I am commenting and posting much more now than ever on reddit. I want to transition to lemmy and see it grow as I refuse to use the Android reddit app.
I am not typing/imagining a comment and then not posting it here either like many people do on reddit. It seems like a good time to become less of a lurker.
Definitely a problem that comes with reddit and the unique subreddit names I'd say. I feel like that may not be avoided here since moving many subscribers from a large->small community is so difficult. Maybe the federation style will be successful though, I can't say I have enough experience to predict that well.
Realized another - the awards that reddit created were out of control. I didn't mind avatars too much since customization can be fun and it was optional, but the awards are spammed and shown on most reddit clients.
Yea that seems like something that started showing up more as time went on and more users joined. The trends and jokes did get tiring.
name 'em and ~~shame~~ fame ?
Thank you
What subs did you particularly enjoy? I liked askreddit for the occasional good+popular prompts
Thanks for replying :), hope so too
Alright makes sense, thanks. Having trouble getting the nature of communities and instances down even after messing with mastodon a little before.
I came back to Apollo for a while on a new iPad. I am so sad to see it go - it's one of the top parts of iOS I actually miss. Certainly sad to not use it nor Boost anymore.
I only started on RARBG recently and I miss it... I wish I'd done more while it stuck around
I felt the move of making reddit silver a real award was a big shift. Newer users don't even get why reddit silver was a thing.
I do like the idea of optional visibility - awards certain;y don't have to be bloat/bad.
