After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/

It’s because the majority isn’t here yet. You would have the same quality in smaller subreddits, as long as they are somewhat moderated.

Just wait a few months and you’ll see the idiots returning with their cheap comments.

Tbh, I kinda miss these links. Lemmy has a big discoverability issue, and part of that is that it's impossible to link to a post or comment in an instance-agnostic way.

Links to communities would at least help to find new communities to join.

Were you not here for the bit about the beans?

Seems an unpopular opinion here, but I honestly miss this. The whole "using subreddits as hashtags" thing is how I found a number of interesting subs I would have never otherwise even thought to search for. Yeah, some were very big and well known ones like /holup that got repetitive, but others were some niche thing that fit that specific post in a way that I at least found somewhat funny.

To be fair the majority of posts I see have barely any comments at all. Not sure if that is so much better.

While I, too, appreciate this, I honestly have no idea how to link to another Lemmy instance (or whatever we call them).

It's nice to be able to post wherever I want without having my accounts being happening to be x days old or x amount of karma.

Give it a moment

Thanks for the gold kind stranger!?

It's really nice here. I find everyone is pleasant to one another.

Thanks for the compliment kind stranger!

I hope it doesn't peter out like Goat did. I deleted all my 100k plus reddit accounts yesterday. I have so much muscle memory from going to reddit daily that I have to force myself not to go.

yeah a lot of the meaningless chatter just isnt established here.

i kinda think that not having a summarized carma score prevents a lot of it.

but i also feel, that this kind of suff is slowly creeping in with the migration of more users.

As an alternative we have the same memes you know for years in everyones feed here but I actually kind of love that because it's only the best of them!

There really isn't a critical mass of users here to do that in order to be worthwhile.

Your absolutly right, but still I miss the holups.

It reminds me of the time I first started taking antidepressants and they started kicking in. "Holy shit, is this how everyone else feels all the time? This is amazing!" Mine is cripplingly bad and I've had it my entire life. Being a suicidal 7 year old is apparently not normal.

I hope there is more of that actually. I just haven't found any reasons to use any

lemmy has quality

Welcome, please leave your shoes at the door!

One day at a time. Only for today. This is how I'm taking this ride. I'm happy with Lemmy as is. I'm in the here, hopefully in the fediverse now.

Never seen that on reddit either but I suppose I wasn't in subreddits where that was common. 🤷
