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.

Don’t kill me 😆
Oh god I forgot about those lame “witty” responses, all so original hahaha.

Please, good sir, take my updoot
angry upvote
Thanks for the gold kind stranger
I love how the emoji is also italic
Ok hang on this is nuts.
How about bold? 🥵🤑😈
How about heading?
😏🤣👽
Strikethrough?
😱🤮🤔🤡🤡👀🎉😂 Italics are the best though
Don’t see any difference for bold emojis.
Why tf is strikethrough emoji a thing
To specifically say I was going to smile, but I choose to not.
Because in unicode strikethrough is achieved by superimposing the strikethrough character on another character. So any regular character, emojis included, can be striked through.

Listen here you little shit
That italic emoji makes me uncomfortable.
Have my poor man’s gold 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
“guys can we not do that reddit stuff here?”
It’s because the majority isn’t here yet.
The Eternal September waits for every platform
It’s nice to be here during what will eventually become “the good old days”, rather than finding out about it after it starts to suck.
But the Fediverse will be different. For example, instead of having one giant Politics community, we have two: [email protected] and [email protected], each with its own moderation style that has to respect the rules of its instance.
I think that’s a lot healthier than having one giant Politics subreddit where it’s hard to get involved because of the size and the immaturity of the people.
Did you even use Reddit? It has more political communities than you could count. Just because there’s only one r/politics doesn’t mean that’s the only community you can choose from. Reddit has a lot of problems, but this is not one of them.

This is still an issue with Lemmy though. Ultimately, one instance’s community is going to be “the” community for a given topic, most likely because it’s on a popular instance, and at a certain point it’s going to devolve the same way default subs did. People who wouldn’t join r/SeaWa probably aren’t going to join [email protected] with 50 active users, either. Personally, I’m more inclined to choose r/SeaWa over r/Seattle because it sounds less official.
This seems more like an aesthetic issue than a real problem, and don’t get me wrong, I’m all for getting the community name you want on a different instance, but I don’t think that’s grounds for “Lemmy will never become a circlejerk”.

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.
links exist. I just don’t know how to use them lol
Gotta catch ‘em all.
Community links exist ([email protected]), but post/comment links that open thee same post correctly in your own instance don’t exist.
And hardly anyonee uses community links at all.
Yeah, there’s the “everything” feed, but it’s just not the same as /r/all.
I like to browse "everything " sorted to new. I find new communities that way. And there isn’t an underlying algorithm that curated your feed according to what your viewing history is.
That’s why it’s different from r/all, there is less manipulation.
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).
I think its supposed to be
!community@instanceRemoved by mod
I’m gonna need you to do that about 100 more times and with different communities. Just so I can add them. Jerboa search is wonky lol
Try using Voyager! It’s also on the Play Store now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.vger.voyager

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.
Same. It’s not intrinsically bad, it was abused, but often useful
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.
Give it a moment
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.
welcome to the club, and its great to have you.
The first week is the hardest. It gets better the longer you are able to be intentional about your choices.
Thanks for the compliment kind stranger!
I wish I could giv u gold!!!

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.
Your absolutly right, but still I miss the holups.
There are three holup communities that comes up when I type
!holup[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]Tip: you can link communities just like Reddit but typing
!and the community name until a drop down shows up
lemmy has quality
I hope there is more of that actually. I just haven’t found any reasons to use any
The r/dontputyourdickinthat was seemingly unending
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.
