Is anybody else more active here then they were on Reddit?

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

Might be a case of "grass is always greener." I feel like more eyes and engagement happens for my posts and comments on Reddit. Over here it feels empty yet full, which is weird.

Really? For me it's the opposite effect. You usually don't get crazy amounts of engagement like on reddit where a post can have hundreds of upvotes and comments but on average, I feel like I'm getting more engagement and more valuable engagement.

I think this might be due to the algorithms for sorting comments since there always seems to be too many meaningful comments but low upvotes to signal quality to others. More specifically I think it's harder to go viral here.
