There’s less Reddit meta content on Reddit, why did I come here?

    Super annoying but a great time to bring up Lemmy’s crossposting feature! If the image is hosted nonlocally and posted separately, Lemmy can automatically combine the posts and show it as crosspost links. Seems like this feature should work for local media as well but does not seem to in this case. Now this could be user error or this may be a place that the feature can be improved.

    odd idea,

    Re-create spez’s favorate subs from burner accounts, let them go unmodded and wait for him to take them on in an offitial capacity.

    Is that a dumb idea?

    I got downvoted here because I asked why the front page is basically 50+% about Reddit. I’m so sick of hearing about reddit here, can’t users make their own content or are we just going to discuss reddit for years? so pathetic

    I guess a big Chuck of lemmy users come from reddit. Not because they actively chose lemmy, but because reddit became unbearable for them.

    They will oft course generate a lot of content about reddit, since they are getting through a rough “breakup Phase”.

    I would love to see more acceptance for that, maybe then the ex redditors will like it here more.

      The problem I’m seeing lately is that a lot of folks are bringing some of the things that were already unbearable about reddit with them…

      Like “based”, “this”, “underrated comment”, etc… So much stupid lazy garbage.

      Edit: to OP… The “this” referenced in my comment was not directed at your title (hilariously enough)… I only meant that one as a one word comment reply and didn’t even realize that was your title when I commented… 😂

        Unfortunately unless we are absolute in our condemnation of low-effort comments, they will eventually proliferate and become “accepted” and commonplace.

        It’s not super common yet on Lemmy, but as we get more popular the race to the bottom for low-effort comments is inevitable.

        No one was forced to leave Reddit. They didn’t say you couldn’t use their site, they just said you had to use their app to do so and you CHOSE not to.

        Now I clearly support that decision since I made the same one myself but don’t act like it wasn’t a decision we made.

          Turning the place into a capitalist shithole forced me to leave when the only way I accessed the site for 13 years disappeared. That was not my choice. But you know that because you’re disingenuous, not stupid, right?

    It’s one misguided poster spamming the shit out of a bunch of instances, but this post itself seems to imply a more widespread problem.

    What are you trying to achieve with this post? Would you like to spark conversation about this particular person’s crusade ? Or are you the umpteenth poster this month complaining about content referencing Reddit?

    Honestly, the bitching about the bitching about Reddit is becoming pretty fucking tiresome, imho. Why are we talking about this? Why did you make this post? Why not just downvote that asshat’s content and move on? It doesn’t contribute, you allegedly don’t care, why post to complain about complaints?

      But super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat’s content and move on? It doesn’t contribute, you allegedly don’t care, why comment to complain about complaints about complaints?

      We can do this as many times as you’d like, you still won’t have made a point.

        Ok but even more super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat’s content about that other asshat’s content and move on? It doesn’t contribute, so why comment to complain about complaints about complaints about complaints?

        We should not do this as any more times probably…also google en passant.

          Dude thinks that a valid complaint about an annoyance validates the annoyance. It’s an ages old internet trope. Similar to the “I won because you don’t respond to me anymore!”
