Ask Lemmy

People still make AcHUalLY comments here. That crap is annoying.

I like the people on lemmy. Just wish I could speak German in order to understand the 15% of content that's in German.

I can't keep track of who is defederating whom, I don't really want to host my own instance here but I want to decide myself what I do or don't see

Lemmygrad and HexBear have some of the most obnoxious losers I've ever seen and I never had this issue with reddit.

They are all so nice that I feel I have to be nice too.

Lotta radical communities here who like to brigade posts on other, completely unrelated communities. Conversations were calmer with fewer slurs being thrown around a couple months ago.

The Grammer Nazi's are here to

I have a sense that the islands (instances) are concentrating/amplifying more extreme views echo chamber style. I'm sure it was there on reddit too... but I feel like I am exposed to more far right and far left viewpoints that are presented in a toxic/offensive manner on lemmy. It happened occasionally on Reddit but it is daily on lemmy. I am browsing All to find new content and not really liking what I find.

Lemmings believe they are the good ones.

Not sure if this is a planned feature, but not being able to block instances. I can do that on Mastodon so I expected to be able to do it here as well. Outside of the usual extreme cases where defederation makes sense, that would solve a lot of "lemmy.deez user said this! why doesn't lemmy.nuts defederate from them?" bullshit. Of course there's always the option of changing instance but you're never gonna agree 100% with the owner's choices when it's something you should be able to have control over.

It's annoying how most Lemmy users strut around like they have flavorful, pristine cocks and/or meaty, robust vulvas. Stop being so constructive and fight me.

Yeah, people need to post relevant content in order to have some relevant feed. Also, the defederation from hexbear and Lemmy.grad has helped a lot on the pro china/Russia discourse.

Nobody is nearly as casual.

Probably the fact that people here seem to bond over the mutual hatred of outgroups/people rather than over the interest in similar things.

The quite heavy left bias shows also.

These guys under obvious joke meme posts.

That they haven't convinced the rest of the useful Reddit users to move across (and create/populate the equivalent /c/ I (used to) frequent for help and advice)! 😜

Elitism. People who act entitled to Lemmy attracting whatever crowd they like and not attracting the people they didn't like from Reddit.

There's no chihuahua sub where we all post numerous daily pictures of our weird little dogs then tell each other in droves how absolutely lovely they are.

Same redditors with toxic echochamber you are trying to avoid you find them here too. They think their political identity is all that matters.
