For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every ‘What’s the worst show you’ve seen?’ is asked, you’ll get 10,000 “Kardashians” answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that’s geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

    Disagree — while the larger communities tended to get kind of lame, Reddit’s smaller communities were quite worthwhile. I want that to continue, just not on Reddit.

      I’m really not talking about smaller communities. I’m talking about the ones that made the Reddit brand. Like AITA, for example. A lot of the smaller communities could be discussion boards anywhere because they’re so small and they are a niche. If there was an Aardvark Lovers sub on Reddit, I’m all in for an Aardvark Lovers sub on Lemmy. Do I really want to see a lot of the same big subs? No. A lot of what I see on YSK is stuff I don’t need to know, don’t care about, didn’t change my life or affect me at all, whether it’s on Reddit or Lemmy. My point, which you did not get, is that I don’t want a Reddit clone.

        We definitely need a little bit of the cloning and imagination - to get the niche communities on here - which was what I actually used reddit for mostly. The rest was background noise/scrolling.
