The repost bots syncing vapid content from Reddit.

"Lemmy isn't Reddit" but here are hundreds of communities that have no engagement outside of a bot mirroring Reddit content.

Every day complaints about capitalism

Constantly telling people to install Linux, completely disregarding any nuance.

People saying how it's no better than Reddit, without contributing anything but vitriol and negativity.

The answer to damn near every question being "the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it"

Linux and the whole FOSS everything thing.

Except when it comes to entertainment. Then it's "Don't touch my Plex"

Decide: FOSS everywhere or where applicable and don't force your vision onto other users.

I've been told the beans are pretty good.

Stumble across an interesting community that's been dormant for a few months

Decide to try making my own post there to see if others will follow and get the community going again

Get immediately downvoted by the subscribers who haven't posted anything for 6 months and yelled at for posting something that's not exactly what they wanted to see there, even though it clearly fits the rules

Make a few more posts in hopes of winning someone over then give up because people are being dicks or just not engaging at all

Eventually give up and watch the community die again

This has happened to me several times since I started using Lemmy lol

Linux

It feels more like a community.

Like it's not quite what message boards used to be, where every user seem to have their own unique identity that everyone seems to be aware of... But it's more so that then something like Reddit.

I've seen users call out other users saying things like You must be the guy that posted that thread the other day... Or something like that

4 copies of every news story.

> thread about whatever

> half the comments are discussing how things have failed to federate properly

FOSS

The most Lemmy thing for me is that I see more wholesomeness here than on Reddit, I'm not sure if that is the answer you were looking for, but that has been my experience so far.

How people fight the hexbears lol

The trans flag thigh socks + linux combo memes

Linux

Talking about Lemmy.

Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It's extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.

People complaining about privacy of everything, including lemmy itself (this is a good thing).

Fuckwits trying to spam their YT channel with a 20 minute video containing one minute of information

Putting "rule" in the title for reasons I don't understand.

Holding in ur poop

The lack of NSFW content

Whack-a-Mole blocking anime posts and instances. With Reddit it was furries. Now this. Ahhhr!!!! :-/
