The thing I find with discussion on here is that although most threads have way fewer comments and especially top level comments, I’m way more likely to get a response and end up in some kind of discussion than on Reddit where most of the time you just get lost in a sea of comments. Also think comments tend to be more conversational, less memey, less aggressive etc, just generally nicer.

Same, this Connect for Lemmy is decent enough and I find it a lot more user friendly than the web version but I’ll be right on the Boost app when it becomes available
