Idk how to explain it and I imagine it’s been said plenty of times by now but it’s just, way easier to engage with posts here, usually on Reddit I’d just ignore the whole commenting aspect and just scroll through media.

I like this change, it reminds me of older social media platforms I used to use that were fairly small, player.me for instance.

    Lemmy is in a sweet spot that old early 2k forums had. Active enough to engage with people but small enough where it’s not trashy and circle jerky.

      People overestimate how many users you need to have a healthy community. As you say the forums of yore were quite small and worked perfectly fine.

        I noted that on my social instance. 500 followers and 500 follows and I’ve got all the everything I need. Can’t even track my timeline it flies by so fast sometimes
