Yeah on Reddit I made 12 posts in 12 years. I’ve made over 10x that number on Lemmy in less than 1 year. Caring about the platform makes a big difference in my desire to engage and contribute.
Same. I think it’s the smaller size of the community that mainly contributes to me posting more.
On reddit, if my post interests the same percentage of people I will have a lot more answer which makes it impossible to engage with all of them. And since people are less likely to respond I stopped posting on Reddit altogether.
And knowing that the community (that I’ve curated anyway) is generally not toxic and overly hostile, especially to civil discourse. That fosters trust that if I engage, I’m not going to be downvoted and socially shunned because of some minor community fixation.
