I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

Lemmy will likely have its own "the narwhal bacons at midnight" phase.

It'll interesting to see what it is...and then almost immediately tiresome.

    I think that stuff like that developed when the userbase was pretty young. Don't think something like that will happen again.

    At least I hope not...

    It’s a free society here, if Lemmy really takes off its most likely going to happen and you’re free to partake in the joke or not.

    Lemmy is here to serve all, I imagine some hard boundaries around illegal content will be put in place though.

    De-federation can happen for that sort of scenario

    That legal/illegal thing is going to be tricky to figure out. What's illegal exactly in a global federated social network? Whose law applies?

    The instance's hosting country's law applies to the instance and the communities it hosts.

    Displaying illegal content from the fediverse is fine?
