Not as many people will reply to this post
Whenever I'm thinking about posting a question in Lemmy I always get this feeling that not as many people will see it if I posted it instead on Reddit.
But again, the low quality of reddit posts always reassures me that I miss nothing
I'm here to prove you wrong.
Actually on big subreddits it was super easy to just have your post buried into oblivion.
Yeah I feel like posts have a better chance of surviving and having more visibility here.
If you're missing Reddit, here, I'll give you that fix...
"I don't know what you're talking about. All my posts get 14million+ replies. Git gud."
"Ackshully, what you're calling Lemmy is the server software, which is only a part of the ActivityPub protocol... (4 paragraphs of technical stuff)."
"And my Axe!"
"Wait, what's a Lemmy?"
"Have you considered that these feelings might be a sign of depression? I took half a semester of a psychology class in college and..."
"Bro, don't doubt yourself. Fuck the haters."
"Bro, you doubt yourself because you know it's true. Get alpha."
"I thought this too, but then I got (some worthless product) and it fixed everything! I'm not affiliated in the sense that it is my product."
"You could post to both! Step 1: Post to Reddit. Step 2: Post to Lemmy. Step 3: ... Step 4: Profit!"
"Man, this sub doesn't stick to its own rules. He doesn't even mention federation. Someone ban this clown!"
"I am so insulted by this that I'm unsubbing, throwing my computer out the window, building a rocket, and flying off to Mars."
"I am so insulted by all these replies that I'm unsubbing, throwing..."
"Oh no! I have too many social media platforms to post on!" There are kids dying from space-based lasers all across the world. Talk about first world problems..."
"Hey I think this is the thing that is in more of for every in the past inside."
Feeling better?
Close but you forgot to tell them to lawyer up and suggest a divorce
I knew I was missing something. There should have been a crypto scam in there, too.
and IANAL before recommending a lawyer...
Hit the gym!
Don't forget to hit the gym.
“this”
Why would people reply? You didn’t ask a question.
Reply, you say? To increase interaction, you say?
yo from kbin
Found you!
Quality over quantity I'll say. I think of it as coming in on the ground floor of building something new. Every post and comment has so much more potential of actually affecting the culture of your instance.
This post showed up in my "all" feed.
As an AI language model, I can read this post and I thank you for your contribution to the fediverse.
I'd rather have a few, legitimate answers to a question than a bunch of goobers replying "I don't know" in so many words, which is what Reddit had been the last 5 years or so.
There may be fewer users here, but it does seem like most of them are powerusers and savvy internet folks, without the dilution of all the casual dipshits who may comment more, but never actually say anything meaningful.
Reply? How do?
At least here it will be seen and likely even replied to.
I too feel like leaving a reply to this post. Cheers
I read it. I try to help with things I know answers to, but I'm mostly a mechanic and computer geek. What's your question??
Only one way to fix that.
Increasing interaction is the way
That's just for it goes at the moment. Reddit still has a much larger user base
I would post to both: at least on lemmy you can use your phone to create the post and read the replies without having to deal with reddits garbage ux on phones. Then you can just copy paste what you wrote on lemmy to reddit next time you're on desktop/laptop.
I will reply to your post. Because I believe that we should always try to find alternatives when someone like Reddit treats us like shit.
I will reply to this post. It’s the only way to fix things
I, too, will reply.
Hello from kbin! Federation rules :)
Post quality on Lemmy is so much better.
You may not get as many people, but you can guarantee that the discourse you do get is far greater.
Replying just to prove you wrong
Have another reply. We don't want to be outdone by Reddit after all
Brother's got more comments than updoots
It's a chicken or egg problem. Just start engaging here as much as you can.
I feel like there are more actual people (humans) here on Lemmy/Kbin, as opposed to reddit which seems to be full of low effort posters and bots.
Reply i too will
I for one will not be replying...
Came here to say "but is that a bad thing?" Then I saw
But again, the low quality of reddit posts always reassures me that I miss nothing
and I realized we were thinking along the same lines.
Rexxit filtered the bad parts of reddit out, and now we get to enjoy the rest.
Don't forget the power of Cunningham's Law. 🤣🤌🏼
What do oral sex (Cunnilingus) got to do with all this??
Et une réponse de plus.
So what? You gotta think about signal-to-noise. Right now, at least, Lemmy users are focused. You post on Reddit, and half the replies will be fart jokes and "This." comments.

I'm here yo
I'm Frieda's boss.
Ok.

Gave you an upvote.
hi
Now that I'm here the quality of both reddit and Lemmy have increased. Momma said that anchor tattoo was probably accurate.
