To add to that: I think it’s actually worthwhile to write longer texts here compared to reddit because of two reasons: 1) people here want Lemmy to succeed so they put more time and effort in to get things going, and 2) it’s more likely for that text to be seen by others because there aren’t 2.000 other commenters but maybe 20.
True. The sense of anticipation of a new home in which to settle seems genuine. Also, I agree that a smaller group where users actually read the posts and interact with each other validates the purpose of investing the time to share one’s views with people who are actually interested.
My only concern is that Google doesn’t seem to be indexing lemmy pages. So even if we add content that might be helpful it is not getting any screentime.
To add to that, searching isn’t as simple as “best laptops reddit” if the knowledge is spread across the fediverse. That’s something I’d be interested to see
That seems like a problem that search providers will have a strong incentive to solve from their end as and when finding those fediverse results becomes essential.
