I was Reddit earlier and viewing one of question subs. The top 5 comments were all ‘jokes’.

What’s worse is no matter how unfunny the top jokes are you’ll get hundreds of cold comments flogging the joke to death.

The 6th top comment actually answered the question.

Lemmy may not have as much content but what is here is so much better quality.

    Until I left Reddit I didn’t realize how not funny the comments were.

      Also repetitive.

      Before entering the sub you could usually predict the top half dozen joke replies, every-time.

      Okay, I definitely agree the “meme” jokes and most-frequently-upvoted joke comments were stupid as fuck, but there was definitely some gold on occasion. I think we’re looking at a 1:100 ratio, but those 1’s would crack me up.

      The actual original thoughts and reactions. Not the regurgitated “jokes” that were the Reddit in-jokes, but the genuinely funny takes you’d find every so often.
