Lemmy is slowly getting better - Lemmy.world

Just a little rant. When I first visited Lemmy Sites a couple of months ago it felt empty. Besides the really mainstream community pretty much everything else just felt empty. Meanwhile though traffic has increased a lot and I feel well entertained by the traffic in c/hfy c/noncredibledefence c/keepwriting c/worldbuilding and so on. It is certainly less than Reddit but often quality is substancially higher and is β€œenough” to keep me entertained. Also I like that you can actually post something without running into a bazillion deletes, bans and moderator shitshat because your post was two words to short, not NCD enough and so on. Sure, the C64 community on Lemmy is laughable. So is the ARMA community. I still use REddit for that. Also I often check up stuff on r/hfy and r/NCD but since one week I have been prefering Lemmy for that. Not perfect, not even very good but definitely promising.

I stopped posting to Reddit because frankly it felt like throwing a pebble into the ocean.

I love the smaller approach here

My posts will get no engagement, negative engagement, and very rarely do I get upvotes. Here in lemmy, there’s lots of quality posts and nice people who engage with my posts.

I can insult you, down vote your post, then say something confidently stupid before refusing to engage with this thread ever again if it makes you more at home.

Actually, that sounds like a lot of effort; best to leave that on Reddit.

I bet you won’t do it!
Buddy why is your name gigantic and blue in sync? I’m jealous.
You can change it on your instance website under display name, then use a Google fancy text generator.
Thanks, I’ll have to check that out so I can be a special boy too
