    You might be seeing posts from the 196 community, which recently split up (personally, I had the old ones blocked and then due to it splitting, the new 196 community showed up in my feed).

    The 196 community is very much about quantity-over-quality, when it comes to posts, and as such reposts do happen often, too.
    No shade on that, but it’s also not for everyone, so yeah, you might want to just block those communities.

    There’s a simple reason why reposts will always happen, never stop: different people have seen different things. Your reposts are other people’s never-seen-before content.

    How to about that bot that reposts r/buildapc? What even is the point of reposting people’s questions if they they’re on another platform and won’t see the it?

      I have blocked most bots that regurgitate Reddit content, you should try it because it’s make for a more genuine experience when browsing All.

    Yeah, switching from reddit to lemmy gives a “old internet” wibe: actual people, most of them technically inclined. But with more adoption, these people get diluted by all other kinds of folks.

    Same happened with cypto scene. It started with cythography entusiasts, but now it is mostly tech bros.

      It’s easy to avoid redditization: just stay away from the “general interest” instances because reddit or facebook will always do general interest better than any platform run by volunteers w almost no budget.

        "Just stay away* will only bring it in faster. You need resistance

        It’s like when Mom says “just ignore the bullies” a strategy that bullies thrive on because they can bully and know you’ll walk away

          Pick a smaller, focused website and focus on Local. Then you can ignore what’s going on elsewhere.

          Lemmy isn’t a community, it’s a technology. And ActivityPub is madw with the goal of letting anyone and everyone use it and participate. Just like HTTP. Griping because “the wrong kind of people are showing up” is the kind of thing the wrong kind of people do.

          You don’t get to build your gate in the public square.

            Post passive aggressive notes as often as you can, make big honking stinkin posts screaming about the injustice, and eventually make a new community on a different instance, I guess. Just from observational experience.

    I am a serial crossposter. And I’ll keep crossposting whether you like it or not. You will not see OC from me, my friend.

      Crossposts Form reddit? I though about building a bot that posts the top 3 posts every day to the correspinding lemmy instance, just to get more posts here.

      I Mike lemmy for its very technical posts but sometimes i would like some more shitposts here :D

    I fail to see how sharing memes is a bad thing. Lemmy is a great community, its leagues better than what Reddit was, even in its heyday, and certainly better than the shit-buffet it has become.

    While OC is great, it’s really tough to make, especially at the frequency needed to provide new content and keep people interested. Further, 90% (or something) of people on here lurk, with the remaining 10% split between commentators and posters.

    Don’t like it? Vote with your feet.

      If reposting memes, then why not do a quick reverse image search and grab a better version, as well? It seriously only takes mere seconds most of the time.

      Tineye works great, but there’s also Google reverse image search when that doesn’t provide the results you hope for.

      Not only does this generally improve the experience for everyone, but it also makes the platform much more appealing to outsiders that care about quality and will drive more quality users to Lemmy. On top of quality, but also things like links to and information about the creators, which is especially important for things like comics because the more people that know where to find the creators the more those creators can keep making their art.

      Obviously, I do my best to contribute to this, but the more people that join in the better.

          Managed to confuse someone besides myself while high

          fuck yeah I think that could be an achievement

          business acumen or something idk I’m high as fuck

          tldr yeah was just being silly I know those aren’t dogs.

          While looking for an opossum meme on my phone, not finding it between all the Luigi Mangione memes, and taking one from Google images instead, I had an introspective thought. Apologies if the confusion thing came off as rude. I did not intend to insult you, I just intended on celebrating my silly.

          With high doses of cannabis, for me, it’s “think fun thoughts = feel good feelings”. Sorry if I made you feel bad feelings. You got a really cool instance name, if that could possibly lift the mood and undo emotional damage. Also, I’m not just saying that. It’s cyberpunk af which is sick as hell homie

          an image of an opossum, "I captioned one day I'll shut up. Not today though." By the way, sorry if this is bad etiquette for accessibility use, but could you let me know if I can provide any help as someone with some JavaScript programming experience. I promise to not be intentionally cognitively quagmired.

          (As caused by my mind-altering chemical intake)

          (That previous additional caption joke was a coincidence, I did not know what the caption was before writing the accessibility description)
