My Initial Impression about Lemmy (lemmy.ml)

I had joined Reddit twice in my lifetime but was not actively using it, and maybe that’s the reason I’m not very familiar with this forum culture.

I would say that Lemmy is by far the most responsive SNS in terms of the community engagement that I’ve ever used.

That's what got me hooked into lemmy for good after being seriously sceptical for the first few tries.

Little to no comments on most posts was worrysome compared to the absolute flood of content on Reddit. But when I comment here, I get replies. And these replies feel like they matter.

Yeah, I also can feel the sense of belonging here.
