And so far, I like it a whole lot! I swear, Reddit’s entire UI has become so crappy! As long as the site maintainers keep doing a good job, I’ll be coming here now!

    It also feels like you have a voice that people can hear instead of being drowned out.

    You know I think a lot of us get so wrapped up in the lack of traffic on this site that we overlook this particular benefit. There are several usernames on Lemmy that I can, not only recognize, but also associate a bit of a personality with from the interactions I have seen and had on the fediverse. I think that’s a pretty neat thing to experience amongst the huddled masses of the Internet in 2024.

      That’s why I feel pressure to add to conversations or content. I’m so used to no one giving a shit.

      I also don’t always feel like I have anything worth saying, but I suppose maybe other people could find worth in it.

      This is exactly why I love it here, which is weird because it’s exactly what I hate about living in a small town irl 🤷‍♀️

        It’s like an optional small town, which is the best sort of small town. Or like a Minecraft realm you shared with your friends. Or Animal Crossing but multiplayer. So many analogies!!
