Why do you lurk?

I used to be a lurker when on Reddit. I'd post here and there but mostly just kept to myself. It was because something as large as Reddit felt like shouting into the void.

On Lemmy, the communities are small, and so are the instances. Is it lack of something to say, anxiety, or you're a bot? What's up!

I find myself being way more active on Lemmy & Mastodon than on Reddit & Twitter.

I think it's partially habit, Reddit became so big that it felt more like passive entertainment a lot of the time and then that physicy carried over when I got a lemmy account and realized it's going to be a lot smaller

Generally though I do post and comment a bit more but of course the content is also quite different so it's just going to take a little bit of time to settle in

TL,DR; you're not my real dad

While you're under my internet roof, you'll live by my internet rules!

It does feel much different. Reminds me more of the MySpace days. I'm loving Lemmy and the fediverse as a whole.
