Reddit already looks different for me
(sh.itjust.works)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Subcommunities on Beehaw:

A weird side-effect of Lemmy being 1000x smaller than Reddit is that I lurk less and contribute more. So there's that!
I feel the same way. I think it's a little less intimidating as most postshave less comments so I feel like I'll be lost in the crowd less. I also feel like if we want to make lemmy the reddit replacement we have to use it so other people thinking of switching will see that it is active.
It’s more the latter for me. Lemmy (and navigating the fediverse) is a UX disaster for normal folk, so contributing content is the best thing I can do to make up for it haha
Same. The calls to participate instead of lurk had their intended effect. I look forward to more polish and fewer bugs/obstacles in the (hopefully near?) future.
I actually… recognize you! Lol. I never got that familiar with other users on reddit
Wait what? How? Shiiiet
Maybe its time to use Lemmy less lol.
Maybe its the avatar support.
Unless you use... Apollo!
RIP 😭
Lol true. As it is right now out comments aren't just a piss in the ocean. I prefer smaller communities and am not sure how I got sucked up into reddit considering I can just get that content from imgur and if I can't find it here... to think I left imgur for reddit because their app was garbage but it's nothing compared to the reddit app. And at least blocking ads makes the imgur app usable lol... Anyway, I like this way better lol.
Completely agree! I think I've made more comments here in the last twelve hours than I made on reddit within the last two years! I love chatting with you all!
Yeah but why do you think that is
I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but Reddit can be pretty hostile almost everywhere other than small niche subs with consistent communities. Before posting a comment, I would always have to consider whether I was willing to fight about it with someone likely to snidely dismiss it through the most paper-thin lazy rhetoric. Sometimes the answer would be yes but too often it would be no.
Oh for sure. There have been countless occasions where I've written out a reply, only to hit
Cancel
while telling myself "Nope, its just not worth it".Honestly just a good practice to have anywhere, thinking about what you say before you say it.
Oh man so much this. I felt like I could never post a comment without getting into an argument with someone about it.
For me it's the same reason I'm more likely to contribute in smaller subreddits and that is noise.
Kind of pointless in replying to something that has been active for 8 hours and has 2,000+ posts. And god help you if you sorted by rising and got in early then you get 100 of the same reply or irrelevant stuff latching onto your comment for visibility.
Even if you wanted to discuss on larger subreddits the content of comments would be people falling and tripping overthemselves to make the same low effort shitty joke.
