That's why i don't understand why people just want to make everything reddit 2. A lot of things on reddit are relicts from a cringe time, or some things that clearly didn't work. And still, people don't move on, now there is a time to not call everything porn. Foodporn earthporn, it's so dumb, but people insist. The marijuana subreddit is called trees, so every month someone can make a post about an actual tree and everyone can laugh at this very funny joke.
Agreed. But an answer to your (rhetorical?) question. People are trying to turn lemmy into reddit 2.0 because they lost the actual reddit. Sure, many people wanted less nose and higher quality… But that’s probably not true for most people that signed up over the last month+. They just wanted a reddit alternative.
I expect that much of the reddit obsession will dissipate as those users settle in and forget about reddit.

Mass exodus from Reddit is because of API, not because the marijuana subreddit is called trees. You think the number of users skyrocketed the day API closed because people were mad about foodporn? No.
