Remember when 2,000 upvotes was enough to get you to the Reddit front page? Feels like that era with Lemmy, and it is sweet.

I had a post on frontpage, got 40k. And was invited to join two frontpage subreddits (lobby something).

I tough “oh my gosh, im famous”, but next day I just didn’t care about that anymore.

Ive almost 100K karma, but for what? What can I do with that? Save some pandas, send it Africa villages?

What i also find interesting is the interaction at times. I consistently see posts with as much and sometimes more comments than upvotes. The one post i made also had 0.8 comments per upvote.

it indeed is interesting. A few weeks ago I didn’t even know what ActivityPub or Fediverse is. I’m witnessing this platform’s growth in real time. I left reddit and I like it here. let’s hope this is the only of beginning of something really really great.

Got more votes and comments here than I ever got on reddit. So this place is pretty cool.

meh, for me it’s actually the opposite, i remember the first post ever on my reddit account reached 1k the day after, while here i got 45 upvotes on a post i made 6 days ago…

I still remember doing one of those award speech edits after my first comment reached 1k all those years ago.

My current/last account got to 57k comment karma without me really trying or giving a shit and is barely two years old.

Even if a post is a couple of days old, I feel like I can still comment and be part of the conversation here. On Reddit, if you miss the first few hours, your comment will probably be unseen, so why bother?

yeah sometimes it is helpful to have lower volume of content

reddit is like trying to drink from a bot infested firehose

the fediverse is like sipping on a nice wine/coffee/tea, etc with your friends

quality over quantity as they say

the best thing about the fediverse actually is that there’s enough quantity of content that’s also good quality, so you’re not sacrificing any of the two

How I feel. I go to work and by lunch time I miss all the good stuff.

Also most Reddit post that made the front page would be 90% another than what the post would be about. Here conversations feel more natural.
