What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, "this" comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

Making all these posts on Lemmy be about another site.
The community won't flourish if the only thing people are talking about is their social-media ex.
I think we need to give it some time. I was not there when Digg went bad but I'm assuming that in the early days of Reddit, there was a lot of discussion about Digg. Once Reddit reached a critical mass, posts about Digg died down.
There's a lot of discussion about Twitter imploding too. It's not just that it's an ex for most of us. It's also the tech implosion.
Also Meta wants to join the fediverse with Threads.
A lot of it is just people talking about their social media ex, but it IS part of a larger discussion about taking the internet back from corporations.
Wait, Threads is supposed to be a Fediverse thing? I'll admit, I kinda noped on it as soon as I heard Meta was behind it, but how does the Fediverse fit into all this?
exactly what happened but with the addition of some redditors being pissed off that we all jumped onto Reddit.
To make the ex metaphor. Talking shit about your ex is not productive but talking about what was wrong or didn't work can be very insightful. Entirely blocking your ex out of your mind is a pretty easy way to make the same mistakes again.
I can see why people think it's annoying but I think this is also a good thing. Talking about this helps people understand what they want to see in their communities or instances.
Pushing the metaphor even further, all my stuff isn't even moved out of the ex's house yet, so I'll probably want to keep talking about them until the situation is over. It's just going to take a little time.
It's the currently trending topic for pretty much everyone here. It will die down by itself eventually as it becomes old news.

Edit: Seems like people don't joke about this stuff here. Lesson learned.
There are; but this isn't even close to the right context where it even remotely works. Maybe if you did it on a comment saying "people who just reply 'this.'"
I mean, a good chunk of the content on reddit came from Twitter or Facebook or 4chan, if not one of the many other sites that also scrape from those places. And after the Digg exodus, there was a lot of discussion about that too.
This is normal. This is just growing pains.
It took years for Reddit to stop bitching about Digg all the time. Hopefully, we will get over this phase quicker than that.
For the moment, I personally find this feedback valuable. We are starting something new, and a part of figuring out what we want to look like is acknowledging what we don't want to look like.
