Ask Lemmy

What I will miss from Reddit:

• relevant discussions on every minute, niche topic available
• hitting a button and having it usually work (Lemmy growing pains are tough sometimes, I had to try repeatedly to get this comment up)

What I will not miss from Reddit:

• Low quality content, including, to be blunt, images with text (and calling them "memes")
• joke subs in general
• joke subs where the people that joined later don't know it's supposed to be a joke
• silly repetitious comment chains
• "we did it, Reddit!"
• subs that were supposed to be about real advice/drama but were flooded with bad creative writing

The arrogance. Already see a lot of it here, unfortunately.

I dont think redundant questions are the problem. But people's historically short responses on reddit definitely were. Responses like "have you tried googling it" or "the question has already been answered, try searching before you post" do nothing but ostracize the person asking and make communities unwelcoming. I would like to see Lemmy more understanding, as to encourage and attract novice individuals in communities they are interested in

Sorry ive seen this question before, its redundant

I think part of the problem is that people don't tend to read the comments on anything before they comment themselves. So you get the same old jokes repeated over and over and people thinking their opinions are really niche and groundbreaking when the exact same opinions are all over that same comment section.

Echo chamber, calling people "redditors", talking about the site as if everyones a community and knows eachother. It contributes to the hive mind. Just talk to people like normal people. Also, the writing style of anyone telling a story- at least the 4chan ">be me" is funny. The reddit style of just adding too much detail, snarky remarks, and the (22M) after every pronoun.

Cake day

This is a redundant question. It's been asked every two days.

All the hivemind from reddit. The love for random celebrities. Keanu Reeves doesn't care for any of us here. The love for recycling facts everyone already knows. I don't need to read about how the Appalachian mountains go up to Scotland again.
