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.
I just blocked all of them when they started spamming my feed.
“communities”
kind of a stretch to call those communities, when it’s just a bot talking to itself.
I’ve honestly yet to see or feel those. I however exclusively browse my subscriptions feed, so I guess I filtered most of them out by my community choices?
Some people are insane/brave enough to regularly view all/new. The bottom of the barrel must be broad and terrible.
I never knew the joys of spaghetti hentai until I saw a reposting bot on Lemmy. RIP spaghetti hentai bot. I’m not sure why it died.
I love when it’s a post where OP on Reddit was asking some kind of question.
Lets be real, the comment section of some of the meme communities is best left behind.
It’s awesome they keep it to just a few bot, blocking it will clean the hell up your feed.
Block lemmit.online dude. Lemmy has supported users blocking instances for months. Or block @bot@lemmit.online, because Lemmy has supported blocking users for even longer.
I have one account I blocked it on and one I didnt.
Its useful for dumbscrolling.
I’ve been told the beans are pretty good.
Did you say…jeans?
BEES!?!
They’re even better in a comfortable pair of jeans.
Just don’t poop for 3 days after.
They’re a good side dish to stroganoff.
People saying how it’s no better than Reddit, without contributing anything but vitriol and negativity.
Yeah it does seem a bit more pessimistic than reddit to me, I wonder why it is
Interesting, I feel the opposite. I have had a few run-ins with… interesting people on here, but nowhere near as bad as on Reddit.
What subs were/are you on? I mostly only go back for my region-specific meme sub, so I guess it makes sense that there is less negativity. Plus sometimes searches with site:reddit.com
I don’t go on Reddit anymore except when some Google search brings me there hehe. I used to be mostly on gaming, tech and programming subreddits, plus a handful of hobby related subs like /r/mechanicalkeyboards, /r/fountainpens, and so on. Very little shitposting/memeing going on, admittedly.
I’m too lazy to type site:reddit.com, I just append “Reddit” at the end of my search query lol
Haha I set up
sras a macro for that to make typing it fasterI’m also too lazy to setup macros outside my editor 🙈
I feel like they’re a small minority of people who came here expecting it to be exactly like Reddit, but “better” without any clear understanding of what that actually means lol
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
I like that a lot of servers do regular “check in” threads where users just talk about what they’ve been up to.
We used to have this on some of my communities on Reddit. Sadly, even though total activity numbers seem to be back to normal in those subreddits, the casual chat thread is a shadow of its former self.
Constantly telling people to install Linux, completely disregarding any nuance.
Nuance?
/s
The only nuance I’ve seen is “Ubuntu bad”
Install Linux
I’ll show you nuance!
Don’t forget your thigh high socks and furry butt plug after you install Linux.
How people fight the hexbears lol
This
Blocked it all, much better.
The trans flag thigh socks + linux combo memes
Oh yes. This one is good too. They give legit installation tips.
The answer to damn near every question being “the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it”
A way to stop this from being the case is the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it
Well, historically the humans do seem to like doing that a lot.
And yet we’ve very very rarely done it,actually.
Well over short time scales, thankfully not :)
Rebuilding society is a lot of work I frankly don’t need right now.
I have a 30 min slot open next week Tuesday. Can we schedule rebuilding society there?
I envy your flexible schedule and your optimism!
I hate going to work
Have you considered the same job, but socialism?
FOSS
“Hey Lemmy, I need a new refrigerator. Are there any good FOSS (preferably federated) options available?”
That and Star Trek memes.
Lmao. That’s a good thing!!!
4 copies of every news story.
Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It’s extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.
I think it’s worse here b/c 90% of the articles I come across are paywalled, so I come to the comments to see if anyone posted the full text & I just see a bunch of comments about the headline.
I don’t find that, but when I do you can often find the page on https://archive.today/ or https://web.archive.org/. You should be able to set it so that you can pass them a url from the address bar using your browser (e.g. Firefox’s
quicksearchessmart keywords) or search engine (Bangs on DDG, Kagi, searx), if it’s not already linked from the post text.
As someone who tries to read the articles a lot of them actually suck. They barely contain more info than the headline and hit you with an annoying pop-up or paywall.
I would not ever recommend reading any gaming related news article.
Highly recommend Firefox with uBlock origin, and there’s an addon called bypass paywalls clean which does exactly what it says.
> thread about whatever
> half the comments are discussing how things have failed to federate properly
The porn? I’m not actually qualified to answer I don’t think.
deleted by creator
What’s funny is I don’t know if this is their contribution to the thread or if they actually just wanted to delete their comment.
*Also, it’s kinda weird I can reply to something that “doesn’t exist”. Not sure what purpose that serves.
up for interpretation lol
Something mentioning neolibs and fascists.
Another typical Lemmy thing: not realising that it’s quite easy for others to see your deleted messages.
If you want to make it more difficult, edit your comment first, then delete it! Most services will throw out the original message once an edit comes in to svae space in the database (though this is no guarantee).
not realising that it’s quite easy for others to see your deleted messages
