Ask Lemmy

I think megathreads are useful for things like an album release or a weekly episode release. It gives a place for conversation to occur without flooding the community with duplicate posts. I think the megathreads you're referring to though are the ones where it's like "New DIY-ers, ask questions here!" I agree that those should stay gone. No one reads them and they aren't helpful.

I never really was on reddit and I am beginning to miss the lemmy that existed a few days ago, it felt a bit cozier , less hectic and friendlier overall. Now all the same old reddit posts have migrated over and it seems I see a lot more low effort mean spirited cheap 'jokes' everywhere

I can't stand megathreads -- no one reads these!

Clearly, you've never been in !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com before, have you?

That stuff, it's so dumb.

Also, "Username checks out"

I realize this basically makes me satan to a lot of redditors so I never talked about it over there, but I HATED the whole cutesy schmoopsy poem shtick a couple of users would do that everyone would upvote to the top of a handful of threads every day. An AI could be churning out that saccharine doggo speak and nobody would ever know the difference, but people go nuts for it.
