On Reddit I generally didn’t read attached articles. I’d developed a pretty good intuition where the article title, website and top comments could tell me all I needed to know (And reading the source normally confirmed this)
On Lemmy the smaller numbers of comments mean we need to engage with the content being discussed more directly, which is quite a nice change of pace for us Reddit converts.
That’s true. I’ve got a feeling that the rhythm has changed. I’m not sure if it’s because there aren’t as many posts per minute or because by the time I read I post it doesn’t already have like 10000 comments. Suddenly I dare to engage in the conversation because people are still taking part on it, my comment is not going to get lost. I like this a lot.
