I’ve had a great time here. The people on the various communities I’ve joined are very nice and actually constructive! I haven’t encountered any rude or sarcastic responses or one word answers.
I’ve had really cool conversations and I haven’t been told anything toxic or given any anatomically impossible suggestions at all! I really see a difference between here and Reddit.
What particularly amazed me is the lack of knock down dragouts on the Politics and News communities on Lemmy.
People bring up their points of view even if they have contrasting arguments siting historical precedents to support their side of the discussion.
I’m excited to see your experience as well?
I’m really glad to be a part of Lemm.ee and thank you very much /u/sunaurus for making this instance! :D
I’ve always primarily lurked on reddit. I don’t usually say anything unless I have something to add and by the time a post makes it to the front page who is going to see it anyway? So I’m trying to participate more which is new for me. Besides that I’ve had a little trouble with jerboa but I’m chocking that up to growing pains. But so far so good and I’m looking forward to watching lemmy and lemm.ee grow and thrive.
Its not just you, jerboa is a little rough when it comes to navigating across multiple federated instances. But it just needs more time in development, and honestly the level of polish the app already has is impressive.
Navigating between federated instances is rough in general, but it is also the cutting edge of using this stuff, so I can’t wait to see those problems be solved and help solve them.
Same here, mostly lurked and looked for any interesting topics. Every now and again would catch a debate gone sour and would read it out of curiosity. Never really cared to accumulate karma, didn’t care. Joined reddit years ago when it was simpler and I enjoyed it more. Now its more, karma focused and seeking approval from the mods/masses. I’m glad I left, happy here now.
