What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

353 comments fedilink hide all child comments

For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

Some of thats not a bad thing in moderation

Just talk to people like normal people.

We are talking over text in an abstract conversarion structure (comment trees), in a place where you write your message on the wall and mabe some day (usually soon) someone will see it and write a reply back.

Whatever "normal" is, is what we make it. Hense the point of the post

Dang. Reddit and Lemmy are just technologically advanced bathroom stalls.

And twitter are the bathroom stall walls and a sharpie.
