About half of the stuff on Lemmy is just ‘what i hate about Reddit’
That's my Subscriptions feed, sorted by hot. This is the only post that's about that orangered site.
PS: Oh, if you're wondering, yeah, that's from Lemm.ee I am using my lemmy.world account right now to make this comment though.
If you sort by the default Active, which is self-reinforcing, yeah. Sorting by New or Top Day, not much is about reddit recently.
I highly recommend users setup their subscriptions, and set their default feed to subscription and new. This will get them engaging with conversations. Use the All feed to find new stuff to subscribe to. This is a fun experience.
And new is not bad at all (at least for me)
And the best of reddit gets reposted elsewhere. It's like a hierarchy of content getting worse until you're on facebook. That's where it ends and the worst crap accumulates.
iFunny is the true bottom of the totem pole.
I'm sure that's accurate enough for some subs but it's hard to make broad statements about reddit with so many communities. Your experience was whatever you curated for yourself unless you're one of the weirdos that browsed by All
Reddit is supposed to "content aggregation" (originally just news aggregation). So, well... yeah that's how it should be.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
