Fr. I'd say a comment I leave on reddit has like a 3% chance of meaningful response that might turn into even a brief meaningful interaction.
I think that conversion rate is vastly higher on Lemmy, much closer to like 30-40%.
That's a difference so profound so as to be nearly incomparable.
So do I wish Lemmy was a bit more active so the front page was always fresh? Sure. Is it a very small price that I am enormously willing to pay for the significantly better experience here? Yeah, abso-fucking-lutely.
When you get tired of Hot or Scaled sort, try switching to New, especially of All - it has many additional benefits like discovering new communities to join. You can find things there that you may really enjoy, yet receive barely any attention - e.g. poetry - so that you would basically have never seen it while sorting by Hot.
It seems odd that you assume I am only viewing Lemmy as a casual user and only investing in the lowest-effort version of content. I guess I am going to just have to assume good faith and assume you were merely offering help for the unaware rather than trying to throw subtle shade at my browsing habits or relative savviness.
I'm literally subbed to 200~ different communities; you think I found them just browsing Local > Hot?
