Was this community always a news space?
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
You're viewing a single thread.
A year ago was a weird time, given we were dealing with the Reddit fallout that wildly inflated engagement, with people trying to get a feel for the platform (both Lemmy in general and Beehaw).
I tend to use !chat for things that aren't articles. Not that that has to happen, it's just how the communities I'm active in have evolved.
Actually, did many people stay from the reddit fallout?
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.
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.
I did! 👋 Unfortunately, I mostly infodump about engineering in the comments, which is maybe not the kind of engagement we need.
Its a reddit style commintiy, infodumps are cool :3
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.
DW, here is a really nice space :3
I stayed :)
