  Won’t the same happen to Lemmy when it gains enough traction?

    I think the lack of profile-wide “karma” is one benefit, so there’s not as much incentive to farm imaginary internet points and such with the same old zingers. Who knows, but hopefully not.

      Many apps do display the user karma though.

        But that just means that viewing it is opt-in rather than default. Since most people probably won’t bother to install those apps, the farmed karma won’t be worth squat.

  Hard agree. I didn’t realize how awful this felt in practice and how much I genuinely missed conversations until Lemmy.

  Every popular thread I got into the habit of ignoring the top comments because I’ve seen them 1000 before. Like being forced to watch the most unfunny 90’s sitcom.

  I realize now that I would only comment on other comments— deep in comment chains.

  Coming to Lemmy felt like the difference between trying to fish a pre-packaged snack out of a vending machine (Reddit) verses sitting down for a high quality all you can eat brunch (Lemmy).

  This is often overlooked. The conversations are great on the niche or smaller communities available on reddit and the experience is great. But for the most part, frontpage and every other sub has been taken over by repost bots or repeated jokes or politics.

    I used to help out in r/Botdefense

    The amount of them was ridiculous and only because the makers made another bot to report them to use (with stats), could we even keep up. That was before greddy piggy spez shut down API access and now? Ewww

  Same complaint. Reddit posts with 100s or 1000s of replies were mostly a few good posts drowning in spam.
