      On a more serious note, honestly? I don’t see very many people doing that.

      Even worse, in fact I am of the opinion that many are conflict bots, and not actual real people. Bots don’t seem to be policed well here on Lemmy.

    I find the question as phrased is ambiguous. Are you asking if there are people using Lemmy to express positive emotion in general or to express positivity about Lemmy?

    I can comment generally that I do feel like positivity is often in short supply in social media spaces, and when one does encounter it, it may be of the toxic variety.

    I see lots of positivity! There’s a lot of news which is mostly bad of course, but there’s also memes and cats and casual chats, and fun nerdy stuff.

    I see some positivity. It’s like reddit, you have to work to stay away from the communities that are wont to devolve into a feedback loop of negativity

      It’s harder than on Reddit, though, because the population as a whole is so much smaller. There aren’t alternative communities for most topics- there aren’t communities at all for most topics- and you keep seeing the same small group of prolific posters so the views aren’t as diverse. If you happen to align with that group’s views, great, but I find it a lot easier to end up as the lone unpopular view than on Reddit.

      I’m hoping this will continue to improve over time as the Fediverse grows and diversifies more.
