Just the engagement in general. On reddit, if you try to join a discussion after a post is more than an hour old, you might as well not comment at all because no one will see it anyway. On lemmy, you can have a great exchange and more meaningful discussion even if a post is more than a day old.

Yes! I hated that on reddit. I would sometimes have a cool thing to add, but because the thread was 8 hours old and had a thousand comments already, virtually no one would see it. There were some exceptions: on TV episode discussions sometimes they'd use new/contest mode default sorting for the thread and you didn't feel like you were shouting into a void.

The hack on reddit used to be to hijack a top comment. Post something vaguely related to that comment, then add whatever you wanna add. It's silly that this was required at all.

People on various Lemmy DIY communities helping me figure out how to do things.

The people are like actually modern in their heads. No, Trump is not nice. No, this is not a place for racist sexist climate-fucking cowards. Sorry for the language, but I am pretty happy Lemmy is kind of a bubble
