Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time.
Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 1 day agoI came from TikTok about 2 years ago and after some initial adjustments I found the experience quite liberating in comparison. But yeah there are a lot of rules that you only find out about by getting deleted or downvoted. Lemmy is quite literally the essence of what makes Reddit interesting without the weird bs so this is an overdue transition anyway (although I miss optional user flairs ngl).

Lemmy is just small enough at this point where mods don’t have to rely on automated tools and things like required flairs to effectively manage their community. As it develops, things like required flairs, verified submissions, etc will become more normal.
For example, I’m watching Wheel of Time, and /r/WoT requires you to flair every submission with a spoiler level (books only, show and book, show only, etc). Lemmy can’t really sustain good discussion on that yet, but when it does mods will need to start aggressively removing submissions if they’re not properly categorized.
