Another difference is that on forums you tend to get to know the members if you hang around long enough. On reddit/lemmy I never got this feeling, you’re just discussing with random usernames and once the discussion is over, you will probably never run into each other again.
You still get this effect if you are active on specific communities, especially smaller ones.
Can’t say I ever got that from any subreddit, except in the negative way: trolls and overzealous moderators.
I feel that you get to know the regular users on your instance here pretty well, having a profile picture helps.
Yea I’ve been seeing the same few people pop up, honestly wasn’t expecting it to be as closeknit on a service like this.
I feel like part of that might be the subtly of the avatars here vs forums where people tend to have unique large pictures and signatures
