What is the most lemmy thing about lemmy?

The repost bots syncing vapid content from Reddit.

"Lemmy isn't Reddit" but here are hundreds of communities that have no engagement outside of a bot mirroring Reddit content.

Every day complaints about capitalism

Constantly telling people to install Linux, completely disregarding any nuance.

People saying how it's no better than Reddit, without contributing anything but vitriol and negativity.

The answer to damn near every question being "the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it"

Linux and the whole FOSS everything thing.

Except when it comes to entertainment. Then it's "Don't touch my Plex"

Decide: FOSS everywhere or where applicable and don't force your vision onto other users.

I've been told the beans are pretty good.

Stumble across an interesting community that's been dormant for a few months

Decide to try making my own post there to see if others will follow and get the community going again

Get immediately downvoted by the subscribers who haven't posted anything for 6 months and yelled at for posting something that's not exactly what they wanted to see there, even though it clearly fits the rules

Make a few more posts in hopes of winning someone over then give up because people are being dicks or just not engaging at all

Eventually give up and watch the community die again

This has happened to me several times since I started using Lemmy lol

Linux

It feels more like a community.

Like it's not quite what message boards used to be, where every user seem to have their own unique identity that everyone seems to be aware of... But it's more so that then something like Reddit.

I've seen users call out other users saying things like You must be the guy that posted that thread the other day... Or something like that

4 copies of every news story.

"Hey Lemmy, I need a new refrigerator. Are there any good FOSS (preferably federated) options available?"

That and Star Trek memes.

> thread about whatever

> half the comments are discussing how things have failed to federate properly

FOSS

The most Lemmy thing for me is that I see more wholesomeness here than on Reddit, I'm not sure if that is the answer you were looking for, but that has been my experience so far.

How people fight the hexbears lol

The trans flag thigh socks + linux combo memes

Linux

Talking about Lemmy.

Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It's extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.

Fuckwits trying to spam their YT channel with a 20 minute video containing one minute of information

People complaining about privacy of everything, including lemmy itself (this is a good thing).

Holding in ur poop

Putting "rule" in the title for reasons I don't understand.

The lack of NSFW content

Whack-a-Mole blocking anime posts and instances. With Reddit it was furries. Now this. Ahhhr!!!! :-/

being flooded with links with clickbait-y titles. back in may more posts were organic.

edit: what communities have good content made by users? i seldom find intriguing discussion on comments, but few posts are engaging on their own.

Tankie admins policing that you do not say improper things about totalitarian regimes around the world and banning people for "misinformation" if they say unflattering things. Don't believe me, check the modlogs.

Being ambushed by revolutionaries from another instance when you least expect it.

The shit memes.

!lemmy@lemmy.ml

Resurrecting old memes.

I'm here for it!

We have the best Linux distro, no-poop weekend and eating butt tips and tricks.

Thing happens
there's a specific, on the ground solution
fuck the government! School is indoctrination! Everything is death!

Or

large scale problem happens, but individuals are involved. (Driving cars, consuming products, etc)
"not my fault at all it's all the corps and govs. I can't do anything, I'm not responsible for my consumption, and will not change in any way. But fuck this or that!"

Lemmy.

The porn? I'm not actually qualified to answer I don't think.

One person saying actually I agree with you on that, and the other person saying NO YOU DON'T YOU'RE CLEARLY A MONSTER AND YOU MUST THINK TERRIBLE THINGS

It's name

Obviously

Everyone complains about cars, and rightfully so.

I am shocks you asked this question.

Seeing 10 different languages on 20 posts. For some reason I get a big mix of lots of different languages in my feed. Had to start blocking them because it was getting to much.
