When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

It feels like you can join in later. There are not thousands of replies in the first few hours. So commenting or participating was a waste of time before in many bigger subs. Noone would ever see your answer anyway or interact with you, so there was really no point.

Here it feels like you are actually participating in some way. I really like it.

That’s true - Lemmy displays new comments above “top” comments, allowing them to be seen by everyone.

You can change the sorting, I actually have this post sorted by "top" right now.

Yeah, the default sorting behavior contributes quite a bit.

Posting on reddit felt kinda like lurking most of the time. Here it's indeed different, as people tend to answer questions etc. that are made in comments.
