I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

    It’s because the majority isn’t here yet. You would have the same quality in smaller subreddits, as long as they are somewhat moderated.

    Just wait a few months and you’ll see the idiots returning with their cheap comments.

    Tbh, I kinda miss these links. Lemmy has a big discoverability issue, and part of that is that it’s impossible to link to a post or comment in an instance-agnostic way.

    Links to communities would at least help to find new communities to join.

    To be fair the majority of posts I see have barely any comments at all. Not sure if that is so much better.

    While I, too, appreciate this, I honestly have no idea how to link to another Lemmy instance (or whatever we call them).

    Seems an unpopular opinion here, but I honestly miss this. The whole “using subreddits as hashtags” thing is how I found a number of interesting subs I would have never otherwise even thought to search for. Yeah, some were very big and well known ones like /holup that got repetitive, but others were some niche thing that fit that specific post in a way that I at least found somewhat funny.

        I just didn’t like when people would use them to make fun of each other. Like commenting “r/wooosh” for someone just asking for clarification on something. Using it to say “this comment or post would be appropriate for this subreddit” is fine imo. I just don’t like when people try to put others down to make themselves feel better than other people.

    I hope it doesn’t peter out like Goat did. I deleted all my 100k plus reddit accounts yesterday. I have so much muscle memory from going to reddit daily that I have to force myself not to go.

    yeah a lot of the meaningless chatter just isnt established here.

    i kinda think that not having a summarized carma score prevents a lot of it.

    but i also feel, that this kind of suff is slowly creeping in with the migration of more users.

      Its called genralization. Whenever a media reaches a larger audience, that media stops filling its niche and starts trying to appeal to the larger audience. Its a bit more complicated when it comes to a social media, but look at some of the larger subreddits. When they were small and starting off, they were fun and exciting. But after growing a larger audience, they became more genralized. A bit boring.

      Users are the same way. After a platform gains enough users, those users start to act in a way that is similar to picking the low hanging fruit. Whatever is the easiest way to garner attention, they do it.

      If lemmy grows to reddits size, it’ll probably be the same. However, hopefully different instances and nonsummarized karma will mitigate that.

    One day at a time. Only for today. This is how I’m taking this ride. I’m happy with Lemmy as is. I’m in the here, hopefully in the fediverse now.
