What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid? - eviltoast

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.

    I dont think redundant questions are the problem. But people’s historically short responses on reddit definitely were. Responses like “have you tried googling it” or “the question has already been answered, try searching before you post” do nothing but ostracize the person asking and make communities unwelcoming. I would like to see Lemmy more understanding, as to encourage and attract novice individuals in communities they are interested in

      A way to more seemlessly link conversations together is kinda critical.

      Seemless crossposting that shows you the comment as if it were a part of the conversation, kinda like a symlink.

      Commenter links his post to an existing thread, collapsed by default mabe, and it puts the thread there as if it were always part of the conversation hirarchy
