I actually prefer Lemmy because it's less active. I browse Lemmy's version of r/All and I have more than enough content to keep me entertained for hours. Plus, when I find a popular thread, I can actually contribute to it and my comments aren't buried under 10K other comments within a few hours. I feel like I can actually communicate with the community here, instead of shouting into the void like on Reddit.

Yup. On reddit, if you stumbled on a 13 hours old thread, commenting was just sending a bottle in the void.

I think I had someone ask why I was necroing something because I had responded to something that had been posted earlier that or the night before. Maybe it was older than 24 hours, but regardless it was a weird experience.
