As a long time Reddit user, there’s something about Lemmy and the fediverse that feels really refreshing and new. I think it has to do with a few things…
- People are more respectful of each other and interested in discussion and being social.
- Less trolls (users are probably older?)
- Due to it not being absolutely huge, I feel like people will actually see my posts and comments instead of being lost in a sea of content. I suppose once Lemmy grows this will change, however the cool thing about the fediverse are the new servers. So you can stick to the server when you want smaller community discussion and go to “all” when you want more populated threads.
- The clean UI feels refreshing and clean, almost like the early internet.
What have you noticed? Do you find it refreshing too?
Boosting is the only way for reputation to go up. I boosted you for science.
I’m not sure I feel comfortable taking advice from a person with -51 reputation…
Ooo everybody come look at Mr. Non-controversial over here with his +40 reputation.
We have learned from experience.
Interesting! I gave you a boost as well, also for science. Funny how we all seem to be tinkering and figuring what does what here.
Do you mind explaining what boosting is for us on Lemmy?
It adds your comment to my profile feed if anyone is following me. I think it’s a way to work better with Mastodon like sites but I don’t really know. I understand that @ernest is in the midst of changing that.
