Not really, actually. More spam though, in that sense it’s more Reddit-y.
Well, when I look at the All communities list, I'm not yet seeing an endless flood of groups with "_irl", "circlejerk", or groups for every single damn anime in existence.
So, thankfully, it's not feeling too Reddit just yet.
I just wanted to read some Strange Planet and Extra Fabulous Comics... Maybe a little Pizzacake... See what the latest memes are... I had no idea what Barbieheimer was until CNN told me...
I haven't used Reddit in a good couple of months, but there are some things I miss. Anyway, I promise not to reply to anything with "This"...
Beans were popular a couple weeks ago. I see more random memes than reddit, it's still a wild wild west of funny memes.
I'm already having Reddit style debates so definitely
Too many bad faith weirdos
The ratio of good discussions to that noise is pretty good though
With online discussion, there always will be. The only really thing you can do is to know when is the best time to abort a conversation. Especially in Reddit-like social media, when one person is getting downvotes then they are assumed to be wrong, then the hive mind brain kicks in.
Yeah, for sure
Know when to stop, and also just knowing when not to comment in the first place honestly
I’ve found myself swiping to reply to a comment and just realizing it’s a waste of time when i could be contributing to an actually good discussion instead

This is some advice I definitely need to work on practicing better lol
Yeah, though that's largely because the assholes that migrated tend to be idiots, so it took them a while to get past the learning curve.
Luckily, we have a block function.
Holy crap dude, I saw this a day or so ago and just kind of passed over it thinking "eh, no way it's THAT bad"...but every discussion I've had today has devolved into these weird accusations and almost conspiracy-like behavior (replies with things like "you're from THAT orange site aren't you? I came here to get away from people like you")...
It's like some of the people here are super amped up, and we're not even talking political corners of lemmy, just normal ass groups like piracy, or 3d printing, etc.
It does feel that way a bit, but it's important to keep pushing for a positive experience here. If any given instance becomes too toxic, we always have the option to move and de-federate. It's nice for that to be a possibility.
Reddit migrant here. I actually much prefer the conversations here. Comment threads are still small enough to be manageable, people seem more patient and helpful, and overall, it's less toxic.
As for the Sync drama, I'm perfectly happy with Connect, but I'm looking forward to Boost, which was my Reddit app of choice.
Mine too. There are so many clients now though, we will see how it compares. I'm still on Liftoff since it just feels the most right to me.
Only when I sort by active. If I sort by top last 6 hours, there aren't nearly as many comments on each post, but that means fewer people being argumentative/"holier than thou" on average.
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
