    I’ve noticed two things.

    1. I am a lot more active. On Reddit I was mostly just a lurker. On Lemmy I want to comment and post.
    2. Following on from 1. It feels more like a community here, on Reddit after a post had a certain number of comments/upvotes, I knew that mine would never be seen. I don’t have that feeling on Lemmy.

      I feel the same, but one big thing I miss from reddit are the more niche hobby communities. Back when I spent time on reddit I’d interact more with those kinds of communities because they were smaller and I actually had some good information to give to other people with the same interest. In lemmy getting those kinds of communities is practically impossible, there is not enough people here to make more niche stuff more than a few individuals, and thats not enough to keep a community alive.

        Completely agree! For myself, I really miss the film/videography subreddits. There are two or three here but there’s only a handful of people and they seem dead.
