The repost bots syncing vapid content from Reddit.
“Lemmy isn’t Reddit” but here are hundreds of communities that have no engagement outside of a bot mirroring Reddit content.
Lets be real, the comment section of some of the meme communities is best left behind.
I just blocked all of them when they started spamming my feed.
I never knew the joys of spaghetti hentai until I saw a reposting bot on Lemmy. RIP spaghetti hentai bot. I’m not sure why it died.
“communities”
kind of a stretch to call those communities, when it’s just a bot talking to itself.
Block lemmit.online dude. Lemmy has supported users blocking instances for months. Or block @bot@lemmit.online, because Lemmy has supported blocking users for even longer.
I have one account I blocked it on and one I didnt.
Its useful for dumbscrolling.
Lemmy has supported users blocking instances for months.
Depends on your instance; mine only switched last thursday.
I’ve honestly yet to see or feel those. I however exclusively browse my subscriptions feed, so I guess I filtered most of them out by my community choices?
Some people are insane/brave enough to regularly view all/new. The bottom of the barrel must be broad and terrible.
Not enough content to not use all.
Yeah, but all/new? If I go to all, it’s all/ top day. All/new is before the mods can deal with the truly awful stuff.
Agreed, in reddit I just browsed my subs and found some new ones every so often. In lemmy I browse all and block communities I’m not interested in.
Recreating reddit when people bailed on reddit. Because I could be describing the software, or the userbase.
(And doing it better than the original, I should add.)
Linux
Did you intend to say GNU/Linux?
Or as I call it, GNU+Linux
Because Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
I like to call it GNU^Linux
The trans flag thigh socks + linux combo memes
Oh yes. This one is good too. They give legit installation tips.
It feels more like a community.
Like it’s not quite what message boards used to be, where every user seem to have their own unique identity that everyone seems to be aware of… But it’s more so that then something like Reddit.
I’ve seen users call out other users saying things like You must be the guy that posted that thread the other day… Or something like that
I like that a lot of servers do regular “check in” threads where users just talk about what they’ve been up to.
We used to have this on some of my communities on Reddit. Sadly, even though total activity numbers seem to be back to normal in those subreddits, the casual chat thread is a shadow of its former self.
Every day complaints about capitalism
That’s just what happens when you don’t have nazi mods/admins constantly suppressing everything left of hitler.
They just suppress everything right of Karl Marx here.
Which is good. All Karl said is “Don’t exploit people” and “see politics like a science” all very reasonable stances.
Yeah, he was also a huge antisemite, so……
It’s the main reason why I don’t get along with fundamentalists. Marx was a very flawed person and had a lot of garbage views.
Removed by mod
Meh, so do I.
While also being really bad at socialism
Just block the communities, or even the two most notorious instances as a whole. The user experience gets 100x better.
To be fair, that was a lot of my Reddit, too. Antiwork and work reform were constantly on the front page lol.
It’s more a vent for them than anything else because they never actually do anything.
You are saying this is a good thing right?
Does it make a difference to do it here though?
Define difference. For me personally it’s pretty cool to finally have some sort of community that seems like minded on at least the surface level instead of just constantly being stared at as if I were a fish who just questioned the usefulness of water.
Will it spontaneously make come about utopia? Probably not but if that’s your lower bar for doing anything I’m pretty sure you are gonna have a bad time.
“Hey Lemmy, I need a new refrigerator. Are there any good FOSS (preferably federated) options available?”
That and Star Trek memes.
Lmao. That’s a good thing!!!
How people fight the hexbears lol
Blocked it all, much better.
Do they? I’ve never seen it. Where?
They live ඞ
Damn tankies!
This
We have the best Linux distro, no-poop weekend and eating butt tips and tricks.
Lemmy
4 copies of every news story.
One for the scrapbook, one for the noticeboard, one for the dunny, and one spare just in case.
I thought that was just my feed.
Putting “rule” in the title for reasons I don’t understand.
That’s a thing only on one specific instance, I think
one specific community, primarily one one instance. The concept of “rule” originates on r/196, where the only rule is that you have to post when you visit.
Therefore, its easiest to write “posting because rule” in the title rather than something creative. AFAIK this eventually devolved into just saying “Rule” or some sort of play on it.
Thanks for clearing that up
That was actually stolen from Reddit lol
I think that’s the 196 community. One of the rules is that if you show up, you have to post something, so my understanding is that people just put “rule” in the title to say that they’re complying with that rule.
The most Lemmy thing for me is that I see more wholesomeness here than on Reddit, I’m not sure if that is the answer you were looking for, but that has been my experience so far.
I agree and it’s a nice change of pace. I hope we can strive to keep it that way.
<3 comrade
People complaining about privacy of everything, including lemmy itself (this is a good thing).
