Hard to compare though, one is in the hundredth million of active user, one barely scratch 50k, kinda different league.

this place still feels much emptier than reddit :(

Half of that 100 millions are bots tho
Maalus@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Even if that was true they still have 100x the people.
tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Yes yes, just to say that I believe Lemmy has (proportionally) less bots

That’s a good thing for me. There’s an actual end to the scrolling and since there are less people, the engagement rate is way way better than reddit. While there is still some drama cough ^vegan ^cats cough, it’s still a better place in my experience. Although I miss the niche communities, but even the niche communities on reddit has pretty much imploded because of the monetization making the mods implementing some strange policies that neuters what made the subreddit great like trustull or formuladank.

Use the All function and when something bubbles up to you that you like, subscribe to it.
Took me a few weeks before I could stop browsing all. Using Voyager helped.

It looks live you’ve been here for two months, how is it so far? You mention Lemmy being emptier, which topics interest you? Maybe we can suggest you a few communities.
Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world 1 week ago
tbh- I had made my account 2 months ago, but ONLY STARTED USING IT just a week ago cus I was locked out for whatever reason. I had forgotten about it then but now im desperate for a reddit replacement because reddit wont answer back my 20 appeals :’ )
Im interested in shitposting, Costume construction/cosplay, I also ask a lotta questions n stuff, Home DIY improvement is a new one… That should be most of it.

Here’s my tip - subscribe to a bunch of things of interest, and set your subscribed feed to top for the day. You’ll likely see a bunch of interesting posts.
Then browse all, top for 6 hours, and you’ll see some wide variety (except for days following a debate like today, that’d going to skew political heavily for obvious reasons).
You’ll find new and interesting communities to subscribe to, and make your subscribed feed all the better.
Personally I have different accounts for different interests, and for a few of them I rarely leave the subscribed/top for the day. They are more focused, and without a good multi-community feature that’s universal, its the next best thing.
Hope you enjoy it here!

Reddit has millions of active users.

That’s a good thing. Less argumentative assholes and memelords rehashing the same tired old crap.
credo@lemmy.world 1 week ago
*Fewer argumentative assholes.

I just got downvoted and made fun of on a post of mine asking about jobs where they dont have a dress code- and someone called me a fucking anime girl or some shit. I guess it was from the Text emojis I was using- but like damn that was my second post here on this site😒

To be fair I’ve seen the comment, it wasn’t really welcoming.
People complain we’re only so many people here, but when I see this kind of interactions it definitely doesn’t help
Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 week ago
Why would it matter though? It’s not the worst offender and have nothing to do with what they asked.
Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world 1 week ago
It was my reddit username and I love that name so damn much cus it was funny- now reddit wont fuckin give me my account back and im still pissed off about it ;-;
bigboig@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
Paraphrased, “I don’t wanna bed rot at home for my job.” “Yikes, what a main character.”
Lmao hope it was a poor joke
Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
There always has to be at least one asshole, but that is everywhere you go on the internet. Just downvote, block if you want and move on.
Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 week ago
Sorry to hear 😔
FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week ago
Yeah some people here can be dicks. I’ve needed to block a couple people, and join an instance with disabled downvotes, and now it’s a lot better.
fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
IDK about that. Honestly it seems like a lot of the assholes just went here.
Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Good news is that here they stand a much better chance of being moderated by competent admins, whereas Reddit admins moderate to save face of their website, not because they actually care about the rules or people getting hurt. Most of the assholes I knew of at the beginning of joining Lemmy aren’t here anymore, they were banned, either on their home servers or by a good amount of the others.
