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.

Don't kill me 😆
Oh god I forgot about those lame “witty” responses, all so original hahaha.
play stupid games
I love how the emoji is also italic
Ok hang on this is nuts.
How about bold? 🥵🤑😈
How about heading?
Strikethrough? ~~😱🤮🤔~~
🤡🤡👀🎉😂 Italics are the best though
Don't see any difference for bold emojis.
Why tf is strikethrough emoji a thing
To specifically say I was going to smile, but I choose to not.
Because in unicode strikethrough is achieved by superimposing the strikethrough character on another character. So any regular character, emojis included, can be striked through.

My mind is officially blown
Listen here you little shit
That italic emoji makes me uncomfortable.

The Eternal September waits for every platform
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.
But the Fediverse will be different. For example, instead of having one giant Politics community, we have two: [email protected] and [email protected], 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.
Did you even use Reddit? It has more political communities than you could count. Just because there's only one r/politics doesn't mean that's the only community you can choose from. Reddit has a lot of problems, but this is not one of them.
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.
links exist. I just don't know how to use them lol
Community links exist ([email protected]), but post/comment links that open thee same post correctly in your own instance don't exist.
And hardly anyonee uses community links at all.
Yeah, there's the "everything" feed, but it's just not the same as /r/all.
I like to browse "everything " sorted to new. I find new communities that way. And there isn't an underlying algorithm that curated your feed according to what your viewing history is.
That's why it's different from r/all, there is less manipulation.
To be fair the majority of posts I see have barely any comments at all. Not sure if that is so much better.
While I, too, appreciate this, I honestly have no idea how to link to another Lemmy instance (or whatever we call them).
I think its supposed to be !community@instance
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.
Same. It's not intrinsically bad, it was abused, but often useful
I just didn't like when people would use them to make fun of each other. Like commenting "r/wooosh" for someone just asking for clarification on something. Using it to say "this comment or post would be appropriate for this subreddit" is fine imo. I just don't like when people try to put others down to make themselves feel better than other people.
Give it a moment
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.
Thanks for the compliment kind stranger!
I wish I could giv u gold!!!!!
yeah a lot of the meaningless chatter just isnt established here.
i kinda think that not having a summarized carma score prevents a lot of it.
but i also feel, that this kind of suff is slowly creeping in with the migration of more users.
Its called genralization. Whenever a media reaches a larger audience, that media stops filling its niche and starts trying to appeal to the larger audience. Its a bit more complicated when it comes to a social media, but look at some of the larger subreddits. When they were small and starting off, they were fun and exciting. But after growing a larger audience, they became more genralized. A bit boring.
Users are the same way. After a platform gains enough users, those users start to act in a way that is similar to picking the low hanging fruit. Whatever is the easiest way to garner attention, they do it.
If lemmy grows to reddits size, it'll probably be the same. However, hopefully different instances and nonsummarized karma will mitigate that.
I hope there is more of that actually. I just haven't found any reasons to use any
One day at a time. Only for today. This is how I'm taking this ride. I'm happy with Lemmy as is. I'm in the here, hopefully in the fediverse now.
lemmy has quality
The r/dontputyourdickinthat was seemingly unending
Don't talk about it! That's how you summon them!
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
