I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

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.

    Only been here a day but the main thing I’ve noticed so far is that the user base reminds me of the old days of Digg and Reddit. Nobody downvoting comments for no good reason, nobody being needlessly hostile or starting shit. I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.

    I don't know, there's still a lot of needless hostility; it's just around different topics.

    Lemmy skews even more heavily left than Reddit and it's still too small to attract organized political trolls, but topics like FOSS vs Paid open source vs closed source gets heated fast. Look at the Sync for Lemmy threads; it's a mess in there.

    But the Fediverse will be different. For example, instead of having one giant Politics community, we have two: politics@lemmy.world and politics@lemmy.ml, each with its own moderation style that has to respect the rules of its instance.

    I think that's a lot healthier than having one giant Politics subreddit where it's hard to get involved because of the size and the immaturity of the people.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
