On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.

    Definitely true for me. I was a pure lurker on Reddit. Now with Lemmy I try to engage a lot more. This place needs to come to life (and I feel like we’re doing well, so far).

    It’s the novelty mostly, plus the fact that smaller communities are more fun to engage in. The same thing happened back on Voat.

    I have already written more comments here than I ever did on reddit. I want lemmy to succeed and it needs even us lurkers to do that. It ain’t much–but I am commenting ;)

    Anger and spite, like what other have mentioned, but also, it’s always nice to be part of a growing community.

    You feel like you’re actually contributing rather than just being a statistic.

    What I like about Lemmy is, that you don’t need to be one of the first comments to interact with people. On Reddit you would easily be buried somewhere at the bottom but most Lemmy posts I see have a really nice comment section. People are more likely to see your comment because the posts don’t have hundreds of comments but there are still enough comments to start a conversation. I also love that I can have conversations stretched over days. I don’t browse Lemmy often. I don’t need to feel bad when I answer something a day later.
