I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.
It’s because the majority isn’t here yet. You would have the same quality in smaller subreddits, as long as they are somewhat moderated.
Just wait a few months and you’ll see the idiots returning with their cheap comments.
But the Fediverse will be different. For example, instead of having one giant Politics community, we have two: politics@lemmy.world and politics@lemmy.ml, each with its own moderation style that has to respect the rules of its instance.
I think that’s a lot healthier than having one giant Politics subreddit where it’s hard to get involved because of the size and the immaturity of the people.

It’s nice to be here during what will eventually become “the good old days”, rather than finding out about it after it starts to suck.

Seems an unpopular opinion here, but I honestly miss this. The whole “using subreddits as hashtags” thing is how I found a number of interesting subs I would have never otherwise even thought to search for. Yeah, some were very big and well known ones like /holup that got repetitive, but others were some niche thing that fit that specific post in a way that I at least found somewhat funny.
Tbh, I kinda miss these links. Lemmy has a big discoverability issue, and part of that is that it’s impossible to link to a post or comment in an instance-agnostic way.
Links to communities would at least help to find new communities to join.
I hope it doesn’t peter out like Goat did. I deleted all my 100k plus reddit accounts yesterday. I have so much muscle memory from going to reddit daily that I have to force myself not to go.
The first week is the hardest. It gets better the longer you are able to be intentional about your choices.
welcome to the club, and its great to have you.
Thanks for the gold kind stranger!?
