This is my biggest take away so far - been here about a week now. I know many ex-redditors probably didn't use the platform long enough to remember this, but this is how Reddit used to be. I remember when you'd log in and there would be little/no movement in the top posts, it wasn't the non-stop content it is now. The flip side to that is you could jump in the comments and have fun, amicable discussions with internet strangers. It wasn't the constant bickering/non-stop arguments or copy/pasted bot fests you get today. Comments would spark entire sub-comment discussions with multiple users going back and forth like a real conversation. It was lovely!
@BrainisfineIthink @sandblast it still kind of blows my mind to realize I’m looking at lemmy post on my mastodon app.. fediverse is amazing. Am I posting on lemmy right now? 🤯
Yeah you are! I'm just getting the hang of this fediverse thing, but Mastadon still completely baffles me. I've never used Twitter at all, so the fact that there's like a non-twitter Twitter that does non-twitter things but also twitters kind of breaks my brain, and I can't have that because I JUST picked this username.
Yep! Shows up on lemmy for me!
