Sorry, no link to some ‘news’ article. /s

I’m a newcomer myself, but it seems my feed is just filled with low-effort news links with no other content. It’s c/mildlyinfuriating at this point. Maybe moderators outside of communities that are specifically for current events could require at least an effort by the op to add some of her own thoughts?

Did you expect something else from a link aggregator?

[-] Madbrad200@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Yes. Reddit would not be what it is were it not for discussion.

The discussion is in the comments. It's even a meme that no one reads the article before commenting.

Most valuable and interesting info is not in the news liknk comments. But in personal posts and q&a.

People add "reddit" to the Google search, not to find s comment for news link.

In subreddits I was subscribed/active most of the post were not news/links at all: they were questions, personal experience etc.
