What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid? (lemmy.world)

For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

Every single time I think about reddit, that picture of a past reddit meet-up appears in my head. 99% were fat, disgenetic, unappealing, unhealthy, weird looking people.

i don’t know.. i see a few people using reddit on public transit and they look alright. I find that kind of disingenuous

This stereotype has stemmed from the amount of neckbeard incelish redditors that hate on women more than anything

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The different Reddit meetups I had gone to weren't like that. But after that picture it became nearly impossible to get a meetup going.

I forgot about that pic! Nightmare fuel!
