I am enjoying it so far. I usually tend to lurk but the community is, as many have said, very welcoming and it creates an atmosphere where it encourages you to contribute (not just with up/downvotes but also comments).
True! Also I'm putting more effort in commenting and participating to try and make lemmy gain traction. When I'll be satisfied with the amount of content I'll go back to lurking lol
Heck, I might even quit the lurkin' life if the trend stays that positive hehe.
It all reminds me a bit of the good old times of early reddit. People who are ready for conversation, relatively few trolling (and worse) and just a community or rather communities in the truest sense of the word.
But also I dont know how it is from a mods perspective.
Quitting the lurking life would be an unexpected turn of the events, but a welcome one for sure.
Yeah, the mods get rid of the trash before it gets to us, so our perception of that is definitely more positive than it actually is. Also I hope to be wrong, but I expect tons of sh*theads coming to lemmy during the blackout days, just trying to ruin something good to kill time.
Let's stay vigilant and use the report button whenever necessary. Don't want our fellow stranded redditors to have a bad first impression of lemmy!
