    Such a small amount of users on Reddit submit links or comment. The thing that they “won” was splitting a portion of their community of power users who maintain and create the content on their site from the masses who simply consume and doom scroll the main page. I am happy with the type of discussion that is happening on Lemmy, I don’t need a post to have 7000 upvotes or a comment to have 1500 votes and a shit load of coins attached to it to make it valuable or interesting.

      I was a 100% lurker there and they lost me too. I had no impact on their content but they still lost another person when my 3rd party app stopped working

      Yeah exactly like look at this post with 300+ comments on lemmy, once you get past a threshold it’s just more noise.

      I’m a former 140k karma reddit poster and haven’t posted since the event. Will never post there again but will post here for sure.
