I see memes here that my friends don’t see. My internet points have been on the rise since using Lemmy.
I don’t like lemmy elitism any more than I like reddit elitism
Ive only recently made the switch. Question for you guys. You know how there’s often multiple copies of the same ‘sub’ on different instances. Do you subscribe to them all or just 1 copy on an instance that you like?
I’m enjoying lemmy overall. Feels like reddit 15 years ago. I just sometimes wish there was a little more content getting posted.
I subscribe to them all and browse just my subscriptions. I often don’t even care about the community the post comes from.
You actually had a similar issue on Reddit with separate but closely related subs (if you’re interested in Linux, for example, there were multiple subs for Linux in general, gaming, “for noobs” which was interesting also for experienced users, memes etc).
Good point. Do you not get your feed filled with loads of crossposts/ duplicate content?
Lemmy is great, it’s so good being able to use whatever app I want to use to browse it. Also the lack of karma farming power users and ads is a big bonus.
Exactly. Don’t get me wrong, I post A LOT but it’s because I like sharing memes and that’s the end of it.
The lack of novelty accounts and rote responses also helps keep things fresh
I joined lemmy after my reddit account got banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole.
Apparently that’s a euphemism for telling someone to kill themselves???
Meanwhile in the same thread everyone was talking about infant genital mutilation and how female genial mutilation is abhorrent but circumcision is perfectly fine.
Lemmy is such an upgrade in every way except amount of content.
