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: [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.
Still kinda is. Take r/Seattle as an example. A massive segment of that community could not stand the main mod, so they had to make r/SeaWa, which when compared to just hosting a new Seattle community on a different instance, it eliminates that issue where the more popular iteration appears less… official?
What’s less good is when you like two communities by the same name on different instances, so you have to keep checking which one you’re on, lol.

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.
My mind is officially blown
Why tf is strikethrough emoji a thing
Because in unicode strikethrough is achieved by superimposing the strikethrough character on another character. So any regular character, emojis included, can be striked through.

To specifically say I was going to smile, but I choose to not.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Give it a moment
There really isn’t a critical mass of users here to do that in order to be worthwhile.
Thanks for the compliment kind stranger!
I wish I could giv u gold!!!
The r/dontputyourdickinthat was seemingly unending
Your absolutly right, but still I miss the holups.
There are three holup communities that comes up when I type
!holup[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]Tip: you can link communities just like Reddit but typing
!and the community name until a drop down shows up
