    If all they are interested in is maximum engagement, let them stay on Reddit!

    I’m here for community and real conversations, not “karma”

    I don’t think most of us are here seeking “maximum engagement” yk? I’m quite comfortable just getting a comment or two on a post and having long conversations (or arguments lol) in comment sections. The community of lemmy is really nice and I don’t want it polluted by people who use it in the highly impersonal way people use reddit.

    The comments in this post are so stupid…

    Lemmy (and other Fediverse stuff) will naver replace things like Twitter or Reddit.

    Why are you even on the BuyfromEU sub if you’re setting the bar so high. Just give up lmao

    Honestly props to OP (Blaze) for having the patience to comment over there

    Subscribe to all of them, duh. Problem solved.

    And then when posting you simply cross-post. Or stick to the most active one. By then you already know which it is. (Unless you post mindlessly on whatever comm you find, without even lurking a wee bit before doing it. Then you’re probably shitting Reddit and should stay there instead of shitting Lemmy.)

      Crossposting gets pretty annoying for users who are also subscribed to all of them, though. Not that bad if it’s only 2 communities, but at 5 it gets pretty annoying.

      when posting you simply cross-post.

      I’m usually against crossposting between similar communities for niche topics as it splinters conversations. Instead of having 10 comments of 3 or 4 people taking to each other, you have 3 comments split in one community each.

      But I know it’s always a debated topic.

        In this case the alternative is to post in the most active one. By then the user should already have a good grasp on which one it is, unless they post mindlessly.

        That said I like cross-posting. Sometimes I see 3~4 people talking to each other in the different threads - but they’re approaching the subject from a different angle, because of the specificities of each comm.

          If the communities have actual differences, that can be interesting indeed

          Sometimes it’s just because none of them wants to consolidate, while they are actually identical
