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

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.

Puns

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Puns are the highest form of comedy. I will die on this hill if I must.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

highest form of comedy.

... because it's on the hill?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well it's about to be hamburger hill lol.

They're, the problem is that most redditors don't actually know how to use good and funny puns

They’re, the problem is that most redditors don’t actually know how to use good and funny puns

You used "They're" correctly, but in the most unconventional way. Thanks, I hate it 😅

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Lol, sorry

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I also choose this guy's wife who's dying of cancer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Very true. Puns are one of the hardest forms of comedy to pull off.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

That can be arranged.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Aw but come up, can't we have a few puns? I really think they're punny, and brighten my day

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We need the punniverse

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Only if you're British.
