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.
play stupid games
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
Why tf is strikethrough emoji a thing

Because in unicode strikethrough is achieved by superimposing the strikethrough character on another character. So any regular character, emojis included, can be striked through.

To specifically say I was going to smile, but I choose to not.
🥺👉👈
My mind is officially blown
Don’t see any difference for bold emojis.
Could you possibly share a screeny? They do not appear different on my app/device in italic and I’m so curious!
Listen here you little shit
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Have my poor man’s gold 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
“guys can we not do that reddit stuff here?”
That italic emoji makes me uncomfortable.
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.

To be fair the majority of posts I see have barely any comments at all. Not sure if that is so much better.
when it has comments, it rarely have replies
edit: i guess the /s was needed
Be patient my friend, the engagements will come. Although the instances having issues doesn’t really make people want to browse lemmy. I practically never browsed past the first page of the feed before Sync for Lemmy got released.
It is so much better now then it was a month ago so imo we are now a floating boat rather than a sinking one that we are using buckets to keep floating
Here’s one
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.
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.
It’s nice to be able to post wherever I want without having my accounts being happening to be x days old or x amount of karma.
Im wondering how long that will last. Surely, at some point, there will be anti spam measures to help combat that.
When Eternal September begins and all the frat boys no longer getting free booze at Reddit stagger down cyber lane looking for another party to crash and see the light is still on at Lemmy’s.
Give it a moment
Thanks for the gold kind stranger!?
no
Take my angry upvote?
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 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.
The first week is the hardest. It gets better the longer you are able to be intentional about your choices.
welcome to the club, and its great to have you.
As an alternative we have the same memes you know for years in everyones feed here but I actually kind of love that because it’s only the best of them!

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
It reminds me of the time I first started taking antidepressants and they started kicking in. “Holy shit, is this how everyone else feels all the time? This is amazing!” Mine is cripplingly bad and I’ve had it my entire life. Being a suicidal 7 year old is apparently not normal.
Thanks for the compliment kind stranger!
I wish I could giv u gold!!!
Lemmy Silver is the best I can do.
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.
