I have no idea why you are talking about
Lemmy.world is defederated from the major Marxist instances, so you might want to join a different instance for a fresh look. Lemmy in general is small enough to be dominated easily, what helps this is finding a good instance and treating said instance like a community with different tags, rather than treating communities like subreddits.
I have an account on sh.itjust.works that i rarely use. Then again, do i want to see posts from Marxists, especially the ones defederated from .world?
Sh.itjust.works is also defederated. If you're a liberal, then you probably don't care for Marxism and Lemmy.world is going to be fine, the mods are anti-Marxism as well. You'll just run into the same issue of having a few posters dominate is all.
I thought hexbear was marxist. Oh well i guess I'll stick to seeing the same users
Am I lemmy famous yet?
Kinda yeah. BUT my comment to lurk ratio is still less than I did on Reddit. So even my few contributions are still more than I ever really did on Reddit.
more not less, isn't it?
I don’t see that as a problem personally
A boon, really.
It's a village vibe, grab onto the grapevine
With such a user pool you'd think I'd make someone laugh
Hello cousin! Wanna go bowling?
Only if you tell me what your name means
Yeah, that's what you get with smaller communities, you tend to see the same people over and over.
There's a certain group of users I tend to come across here regularly. I post a lot myself too but I also have a habit of making new account about once a year so that not all my messages are from one user. I doubt many would remember me.
I remember you
I almost never comment on anything. I imagine most users are like me.
Yes, I do see the same names popping up all the time.
That's honestly crazy to me. What's the appeal of lurking?
To learn...
Sometimes what you were going to comment is already there, you updoot and move along.
Not the person you asked but another lurker. Social interaction is hard, even posting this I'm having second thoughts about it, but I still like to feel like a member of the community.
Congratulations to you on interacting! I agree with everything you said.
I'm certainly not one of the lemmy celebrities, but I've got nearly 900 comments on lemmy where I doubt I had 100 on Reddit. Not going back to check.
Lemmy is a just nicer place to comment than Reddit: smaller audience, kinder communities, much less intimidating. I don't consider there to be any pressure to make posts or to comment, but if you do, I doubt you'll regret it.
Either way, I personally am happy to have you here.
Welcome to the community, fam!
I like it. It feels more genuine
