Apps saying goodbye to Reddit and immediately becoming fediverse apps instead

Its so nice being on a platform where the first 1000 comments on every post aren't just low effort jokes.
- I haven’t even considered this. Most users on Reddit are lurkers. It doesn’t take many of us to make new communities worth visiting
  
  Former lurker checking in, trying to take this new start on Lemmy as a way to participate more and hopefully contribute a bit, I wonder how many will do the same coming from reddit.
  
  I am! Mostly lurked because by the time I got to threads they were already too popular and were flooded with hundreds of comments.
  
  This is what I love about Lemmy so far. I don't open a thread and see the amount of comments that make me not want to add another comment. If I see thousands of comments, I'll assume my joke or point has already been made and just lurk.
  Here, I feel like I can contribute and make these comments
  
  Same here, I like the Fediverse, so I try to contribute to it. With reddit it was more of a convenience and mindless thing
  
  I definitely am. Not a huge talker but I'm really trying to do my part here. It also helps that this community just feels a lot more welcoming.
  
  Me too. And in nuking ten years of reddit history I realised I had stopped posting over the years as it got so big it just wasn't needed
  
  I'm with you there, it's certainly worth it to try and post and comment more and ther is a much more relaxed positive vibe here.
  
  Absolutely. Currently a lot of places here feel how Reddit used to be when I joined up. I quite like it.
- Your low-effort comment wasn't even funny.
  
  🤣🤣
- Coming to a comment thread to reply "this" feels so cheugy. When I think of the heydey of reddit, I think of 2011 in my dorm room doing the grow a college subreddit. And here we are twelve years later and the best experience you can get now is exactly that same experience.
  
  this.
  
  Cheugy
  
  Ok zoomer. It's just a phase.
  
  cheugy
  
  Cheugy
  
  Choo-choo!
  
  The fuck does cheugy mean?
  
  Cheugy – A pejorative description of lifestyle trends associated with the early 2010s
  
  How the fuck do you say it? Choo-gie?
  
  I think that's right.
  
  It means something that used to be in style but now is considered corny or lame.
  
  I think we just witnessed the birth of its use! It vibes like something that's chuggy but has a kind of abstract phlegmy quality to it.
  Who knows - I should be sleeping!
  
  it is not a brand new term
  
  the fuck is phlegmy?
  
  It's that kind of mucus you cough up, normally if you're a bit sick. Not quite snot, not quite spit. Somewhere between.
  
  the fuck is phlegmy?
  
  I too would like to know
  
  A month or two ago I got a bunch of downvotes for explaining why I didn't like a game. The people responding said it was because my comment was "too long." It was like six sentences. Why are these people on Reddit instead of Twitter?
- You forgot reposts for karma removed.
  
  Good thing about Lemmy is the lack of karma, so we'll be doing just normal removed I guess.
  
  I bet itll get worse with reddit becoming public and trying to juice money from reddit.
- Yeah lve been a lurker for over 10 years over there and I was sick of all the karma removed, the low quality posts and especially the pun threads that would bend my face with cringe. Hopefully we can get things right on the Lemmy-verse
