I want to actively build community and engage with people here; to make this place home. That’s how it changed me. I’m not a lurker or passive. It has made positive improvements to my reading and cooking, along with bending my language more positively. I’ve also further grown in my appreciation of diversity.
That was the key for me. To take one of my favorite communities (“bande dessinée,” i.e. Euro comics) and create a version on Lemmy eight months ago. It’s taken a load of work (usually daily), and sometimes I get really discouraged, but overall it locked me in to the FV.
Also, you might have to burn me at the stake for saying this-- I still visit Reddit because of the far more prolific content, and do have worries & reservations about the tankie founders of Lemmy. But so far, so good. The more the FV grows, the more I’ll have no problem leaving Reddit behind.
