At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.

    There’s one user that seems to be everywhere and it’s probably the same user everyone is thinking of right now lol.

    I’m also surprised I come across other “agents” on here more frequently than I would expect.

    Like the others said, the ratio of posters/lurkers on most social media sites is 10/90, and i think that lemmy is on the better, more active side of things. in a 30k community that means that you will see about 300 people commenting regularly, and 30 of them will be very active.

    i also like the smaller scope here, fewer comments mean that my opinion will be engaged with more.

    I rarely commented on reddit, because one little comment in a swarm of 2500 will not even be noticed. It’s different here, and i wrote over 400 comments this year! i maxed out at about 100 on reddit because my comments wouldn’t even be noticed most of the time if i didn’t filter by new.

    Ye, and I’m mostly fine with it (I just wish this place had more stuff that wasn’t necessarily political, like “interests” type of stuff like comicbooks. We have some, and thankfully Linux is a big one, but I just wish there was more!)

    I use both reddit and lemmy and for the most part, I’ll see similar or the same articles shared/posted on both platforms. I don’t mind, it actually makes me feel like one day Lemmy might grow enough to the point where I use reddit less and less.

    using multiple platforms I see the same users from time to time but I never really cared about who’s posting or commenting

    It’s called a community. If Reddit doesn’t seem like this anymore, it’s because half those people are actually AI.

    Yes. I’ve been posting to subs around here too. I like it cause everybody will probably see your post and you’ll get engagement from real people. We also have common interests on here that things are pretty interesting.

      We also have common interests on here that things are pretty interesting.

      I disagree. The interests communities get no attention at all. The only things that get on the homepage are political stuff, some technology and a bit dry memes.
