Open discussions and thoughts. Make anything into a discussion!
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
I have multiple lemmy accounts, which kind of dilutes my efforts, maybe. I do try to post comments (and occasional new content). I think reddit beat me into a state of lurking and being afraid to participate very much, because a large percentage of redditors are know-it-all jerks just waiting to pounce on you for almost any reason.
Honestly since leaving reddit for lemmy, I'm also kind of enjoying not doom scrolling so much. I do like to stay on top of things like tech news, politics, sports, entertaininment, etc, and reddit was always my go-to for that stuff. So it's a mixed bag...I don't miss the jerks, I don't want to be addicted, but I do want to help lemmy thrive. It seems much nicer here (so far).
I’m thinking a lot of people have the same reasoning. There has to be a paradigm shift for folks moving to Lemmy. It’s like going from a large public speaking event to a family reunion. You’re still presenting something to some people you may not know but the family reunion will be much more inviting and forgiving. At least, that’s how I see Lemmy.
I don’t browse All as often other than just seeing what’s being posted. I follow communities I actually want to participate in rather than just consuming whatever is most popular.
