It’s because the majority isn’t here yet. You would have the same quality in smaller subreddits, as long as they are somewhat moderated.
Just wait a few months and you’ll see the idiots returning with their cheap comments.

Tbh, I kinda miss these links. Lemmy has a big discoverability issue, and part of that is that it's impossible to link to a post or comment in an instance-agnostic way.
Links to communities would at least help to find new communities to join.
links exist. I just don't know how to use them lol

Gotta catch ‘em all.
Were you not here for the bit about the beans?
Right now the first three or four pages in my feed are almost nothing but pictures of cats in boxes. Which is fine, but it’s hardly brilliant discourse.
Seems an unpopular opinion here, but I honestly miss this. The whole "using subreddits as hashtags" thing is how I found a number of interesting subs I would have never otherwise even thought to search for. Yeah, some were very big and well known ones like /holup that got repetitive, but others were some niche thing that fit that specific post in a way that I at least found somewhat funny.
It was good when it linked to actually interesting new communities, it was bad when it linked to meta-communities just collecting reddit posts - rimjobsteve, foundthemobileuser, holup half the time, cursedcomments, redditmoment, etc.
Same. It's not intrinsically bad, it was abused, but often useful
To be fair the majority of posts I see have barely any comments at all. Not sure if that is so much better.
While I, too, appreciate this, I honestly have no idea how to link to another Lemmy instance (or whatever we call them).
I think its supposed to be: !community@instance
Yup, !showerthoughts@lemmy.world
When you type ! and then letters it will bring up a drop down menu
It's nice to be able to post wherever I want without having my accounts being happening to be x days old or x amount of karma.
Im wondering how long that will last. Surely, at some point, there will be anti spam measures to help combat that.
Thanks for the gold kind stranger!?
It's really nice here. I find everyone is pleasant to one another.
Strange, isn’t it? Takes some time to get used to.
Then, once you start to get used to it, you realize how screwed up reddit must have been for civility to seem strange.
I'm just so excited to have conversations again which aren't full of negativity. I didn't really see how toxic Reddit was until RIF closed down.
My first social media was Livejournal (I bet you're too young to know what that is), which was a private blogging platform, and it was full of really beautiful intimate friendships I maintain to this day 24 years later. I hope for similar vibes for Lemmy.
Thanks for the compliment kind stranger!
I hope it doesn't peter out like Goat did. I deleted all my 100k plus reddit accounts yesterday. I have so much muscle memory from going to reddit daily that I have to force myself not to go.
The first week is the hardest. It gets better the longer you are able to be intentional about your choices.
yeah a lot of the meaningless chatter just isnt established here.
i kinda think that not having a summarized carma score prevents a lot of it.
but i also feel, that this kind of suff is slowly creeping in with the migration of more users.
