I mean. You're not wrong, but I will admit I wasn't expecting that complaint.

Yeah, the humor on big subreddits always tended to be so juvenile. It was cringeworthy whenever a “haha boobs lol” kind of joke got upvoted to the top of threads. Folks here seem to be much more in control of themselves!
People always try to make a funny/horny/witty comment, on Reddit, for karma. Karma doesn't exists here. You have up- and down votes but no overall score and your comment doesn't get pushed to the top just because people voted it up.
A big part was how run into the ground it was. I don't want to seem like a grump, but any funny joke losses it's appeal when it is repeated too many times. I also wasn't a fan of when one person would actually make a good joke by quoting a TV show in a way that was on topic, and then people would just reply to that comment with other quotes from the show. Like ok, you proved you got the reference but you also killed it, thanks.
Ah, the old "what are you doing stepbro" comment. The definition of an overused, unfunny joke.

Something similar drove me off 4chan'd /b/ back in the day. At some point, it became absolutely not random, but simply dedicated to various porn - porn that surely had their own board, which made me even more confused as to why post it in a place that is specifically made for basically uncategorised content that shouldn't fit anywhere else.

We'll see how that goes as lemmy gets more popular, but yeah, I really like the overall vibe so far.
Honestly, I agree entirely. I was a lurker for the most part, and it was so tiring wading through the random horny posting throughout Reddit. There was a subreddit I followed that was specifically the same as another well-known subreddit, but had an additional rule that no mentions of sex were allowed. Even the various subs satirizing other popular subs (like ShitpostXIV, which focused on Final Fantasy XIV) eventually became half cropped porn. It gets tiring, and I was actually relieved to see the lack of NSFW topics here.

It's always bothered me that while I'm talking about the best way to bake a good tart that there's probably a subreddit called r/wellbakedtarts my info might get conflated with.
I'm fine with NSFW content, myself but there's some really questionable shit on there.
Well. This content of this post did certainly not dissapoint!
I’ve really enjoyed how much discussion is going on here! It seems like everyone is excited and happy to be here. Friendly conversations is something I missed on Reddit and I’m happy to have that here.
A/S/L ? J/k. im with ya. feels nicer here so far
