I remember posting here a lot about a year ago, mainly before I discovered other fedi sites, but looking at here, was it always a news community? Most of the posts here are articles

      I came here from the reddit fallout, but I’m really bad about posting and commenting.

      I am also still here from then, though I don’t often comment in some spaces - like this one. Sometimes I feel that I don’t have much to offer, comment-wise, due to being a member of several of the most privileged groups of people and (possibly unnecessarily) being acutely aware that some spaces don’t really need more opinions from the intersection I inhabit. bee shrug emoji

      I did! 👋 Unfortunately, I mostly infodump about engineering in the comments, which is maybe not the kind of engagement we need.

      I also started using Lemmy during the Reddit fallout, and stayed for a few weeks. After that I started seeing less posts that interested me, and I took a break from Lemmy for a while. And finally returned a week ago.

      Even on Reddit I see less interesting posts now. Especially the amount of discussion posts also seems to be lower there now. The official Reddit app is also a lot better for reading than for writing.

      came from reddit here, too. I often am too anxious to comment for a variety of reasons, so I mostly read. I try to post things when I get the courage to.
