It’s good but the lack of people and interaction sucks. One of my favourite things about Reddit is reading the comments and discussions, but there’s almost none of that here.
@souma It’s one thing that I am trying to fix on my part where I try to make a few posts a day and interact with as many people as possible in my spare time. I do hope that over time, especially when places like Reddit screw people over, people will start to move across to the Fediverse and enjoy their time on here and stick around.
Same here, I post the cool things that I see on other platforms and about the topics I know more about. We’re still seeing more people hop over it’s just a slow process.
I also think we’re at the point where we can start working with individual people/communities/organizations to figure out what they need and help them shift over. I’m trying that with some others for a few communities, but it’s just a slow process (most often because it seems like a lot of mods on the subreddits have straight up disappeared over the past few months).
I tried commenting a bunch of times but always got “log in first”
Luckily I don’t have that problem on mastodon, where I have a ton of interactions and people are way way friendlier than on any social media platform I’ve used before
Is that because you end up on communities on other instances? There are extensions that help with that, you can open the post on your home instance: !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca
If you’re on mobile it should be handled automatically for most apps
I think it was a problem with authorization. I was already logged in, butt wasn’t verified, of that makes sense. Basically logging out and back in did the trick at some point (and a lot of help from the instance owner)
My problem with that is I’m incredibly unoriginal and the lame joke I think of is usually the top comment, so I don’t have anything meaningful to add to the conversation.

You need to be the comments and discussions.
I certainly try!
I’ve been thinking about that too but realised, reading loads of messages saying nothing is not as good as a few small conversations.
Although some of my interests haven’t made it over here yet

Yeah I experience that quite a bit more than I care to admit also haha
