Ask Lemmy

Lot of linux users here.

I once asked a linux user how his day was, and he said "Marked as duplicate, question locked."

I asked what that meant and he said "Artie Efemme"

Bot accounts archiving/copying posts from Reddit. If I wanted to see them I’d go to Reddit. Some of these bot accounts I can’t even block because of a bug, maybe do to sheer amount of posts from these accounts.

Their annoyance with Reddit users. "Quit trying to Reddit my Lemmy!"

Yeah, people need to post relevant content in order to have some relevant feed. Also, the defederation from hexbear and Lemmy.grad has helped a lot on the pro china/Russia discourse.

I did not switch from Reddit, but Lemmy really amplifies any niches that are on here to the point of extremism. It also mostly consists of nerds. Would love to see more diverse and open crowd on here.

FOSSLinuxPCMasterraceElonTech, Reddit was already a sausage fest, idk what metaphor to even use for Lemmy

Blithely continuing the blatant reposting of the same old submissions, especially the same two dozen years-old Twitter screencaps. Lemmy doesn't even track user karma, and it's still way too small to bother selling accounts for astroturfing! You don't actually have to karma-whore here!

The constant obsession with R. Get the fuck over it and move on, OP

There is barely a difference in content/comments from Reddit and we act like we are so much better than Redditors

I like the people on lemmy. Just wish I could speak German in order to understand the 15% of content that's in German.

Not sure if this is a planned feature, but not being able to block instances. I can do that on Mastodon so I expected to be able to do it here as well. Outside of the usual extreme cases where defederation makes sense, that would solve a lot of "lemmy.deez user said this! why doesn't lemmy.nuts defederate from them?" bullshit. Of course there's always the option of changing instance but you're never gonna agree 100% with the owner's choices when it's something you should be able to have control over.

There's no chihuahua sub where we all post numerous daily pictures of our weird little dogs then tell each other in droves how absolutely lovely they are.

Elitism. People who act entitled to Lemmy attracting whatever crowd they like and not attracting the people they didn't like from Reddit.

The FOSS crowd is incredibly cringey and annoying

The things that annoy me about some Lemmy users are the same things that annoyed me about some Reddit users (lots of frequently upvoted meme subs that don't work for me, posting ragebait, political compass subs, etc) and I'm dealing with them the exact same way I dealt with them at Reddit throughout 10 years: block and move on. The best thing about this type of forum is that you can heavily personalize your feed by filtering/blocking/muting and you'll still have some reasonably good quality content (which includes both your niches and the potential to discover either general or specific stuff you'll like) thanks to the upvote system.

These guys under obvious joke meme posts.

Not enough of them to build fun and meaningful conversations

Lemmings believe they are the good ones.
