I visit reddit occasionally and honestly, Reddit is also just reddit recycled content. I’m not on there nearly as much as I used to be and I still see the same fucking posts and videos on popular, many of which are just karma bots.
I think I see more new stuff on Lemmy. Not usually good stuff, but at least it’s novel. Or very very old memes, but that’s not recycled reddit, that’s more recycling icanhascheeseburger or some shit, and I’m down for that.
Reddit is Facebook for people too young/cool to be on facebook Edit spelling
This seems to be saying that Lemmy is stopping you from viewing recycled reddit content, which confuses me as Lemmy is full of it. No judgement, I’d rather view it here than there.
That do be how memes work, lad/lass.
More like filtered reddit content.
Eh, have you seen some of the bots that just repost reddit content verbatim? Some trash slips through the cracks.
I hate when it even says OC in the title still…
Controversial opinion: I see more recycled content on Lemmy than Reddit. Comments are usually far better here, but it’s an unavoidable reality that there are less people generating new content here. Especially for niche communities.
Hop on over to the niche communities about movies or particular subgenres and they’re either dead or recycling stuff. Go to those same niche communities on Reddit and you’ll see lots of fresh content all the time. Maybe the main feeds are comparable but if you’re into anything niche that isn’t computing, privacy, politics or gaming, Lemmy can get a bit stale.
I’m both posting as high output as I feasibly can of OC, and aggregating links from blogs and creators I follow to [email protected], as a way to minimize reddit content.
[email protected] is also full of links to articles and blog content relevant to the hobby that isn’t ripped from reddit.
[email protected] has a small but regular community.
So many people complain about dead niche communities or niche communities only recycling reddit content. If that same energy was put in service to making new content, the communities would be improved. There is a bystander problem where loads of people complain, but if you check the profiler of the complainer, you often find few to no posts.
You’ve just described humans in general.
The silver lining, for me, is that I’m doom scrolling less due to the smaller amount of content here. But yeah, we need more creators here (I am not good at coming up with memes)
Discussion tends to be much better here though, I don’t miss reddit at all.
It’s loss.
