What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid? (self.asklemmy)

submitted 1 year ago by nyternic to c/asklemmy

321 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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.

Makes you wonder if the loads of stupid sex questions has anything to do with the lack of proper sex education in schools.

Some of them were from perpetually horny adults like myself but we usually self-quarantined at r/askredditafterdark

Ah, yes...I posted on that one for a time.

I don't know, man.

Teenagers are going to be horny no matter the level of education. I just think it's exciting for them to have "real" people answering their questions, a distinctly different experience than asking the teacher in sex-ed, more private too.
