Same! I’ve posted more this week than I have in the last 10 years on Reddit. I feel like I can actually join a real discussion with real people here. Posts aren’t filled with 500 bot comments 5 minutes after being posted and my comments aren’t auto-removed because I don’t meet some random requirement for posting in that sub or not having enough karma or whatever.
I also signed up on a few different instances while checking things out and I’ve kinda created different themes for myself. It’s been helping me keep track of discussions better having all my politics discussions on one instance, local and sports stuff in another, and general scrolling/random in another.
Yep! 100% since Sync shut down. There’s enough content here already to keep me engaged though not for as long as I’d scroll on Reddit. But watching new communities pop up and grow is fun!
