As a long time Reddit user, there’s something about Lemmy and the fediverse that feels really refreshing and new. I think it has to do with a few things…
- People are more respectful of each other and interested in discussion and being social.
- Less trolls (users are probably older?)
- Due to it not being absolutely huge, I feel like people will actually see my posts and comments instead of being lost in a sea of content. I suppose once Lemmy grows this will change, however the cool thing about the fediverse are the new servers. So you can stick to the server when you want smaller community discussion and go to “all” when you want more populated threads.
- The clean UI feels refreshing and clean, almost like the early internet.
What have you noticed? Do you find it refreshing too?
In addition to what everyone has said, Lemmy doesn’t have an established culture compared to Reddit. No in-jokes like the poop knife for example
I also choose this guys poop knife
The poop knife has already made its way here 💀
wtf did i just read
Quick someone link the swamps of dagobah, Jolly rancher, coconut, or broken arms
I haven’t read any of these words in years and I’m kind of upset you made me remember their existence
It’s inevitable with time though.
Maybe to a lesser extent, since not every instance federates everything. If clusters start to form, you’d expect some in-jokes to be limited to certain communities / instances.
But we do have the no poop guy.
Refuses to shit. Refuses to elaborate. Leaves.
Oh yeah the comments are great :D Can´t wait for the revéal
TIL about the poop knife!
You’re one of today’s lucky 10000! Sort of…
huuuuuuuuuurr, we should make a really clever and quirky comment to identify ourselves. something something narwhal bacon sings.
XD XD ;p
the poop knife is everywhere on the internet, it’s not a reddit-thing
How long until the “broke two arms” story comes here?
