in the Lemmy industry, some people try to accumulate meaningless points and drive “engagement” by reposting bad posts from the website that everyone here claims to hate…and it works.
but also just like real conversations about creating connections with the people you’re having them with, not repeating something you heard someone else say because you want to be popular and you’re desperately trying to get people to talk you.
If you really think it doesn’t matter, go participate in the reddit thread where the conversation was more organic instead of trying to recreate it somewhere else for self-benefit.
One aspect of this that bothers me is that few serious discussion communities rise to the top. Lemmy lets dessert rise but the main course languishes out of view. I, frankly, don’t even know where to find it.

I for one, am completely ok with that. If it increases content here and moves people away from reddit, then I’m for it
