I've seen some of your comments the last few days, you seem to be using lemmy a lot!
It looks like you have picked a name/theme for your profile that you plan to stick to. Do you think you are offering lemmy something it needed by trying to "troll" people? It was certainly something reddit had a lot of, but I can't agree that it belongs here.
reposting trash makes Lemmy a trash filled site
if actual good organic content is promoted, then its better for the site
I think too many people are worried about "what is better for the site".
I think lemmy would stay nicer if it grows slowly and doesn't try to attract necessarily every demographic under the sun, like reddit tried to. Worrying about stuff like "high quality content", reposts, and maximum community engagement seems to me like it is a speed run to toxicity and bloat.
Also this community is practically explicitly for reposts, so maybe you would improve your personal experience by just blocking it?
Then make it
I really hoped that lemmy would be different and better than reddit like a month ago. but after like a week of using lemmy, I got fed up seeing the same old crap that reddit had. So I'm ""trolling"" now
I don't want to be rude but you really should try to take some responsibility for your own experience. Lemmy is decentralized, new, and unpolished. You should try to find and follow communities with qualities you like, and block communities that have qualities you dislike. Browsing lemmy is an extremely variable experience, every instance has a different feel to it. It seems like you made your account on one of the most "reddit-like" instances, so maybe try another one.
And I don't want to be naggy but I don't see how your "trolling" will achieve anything. Is it fun? You don't seem to be doing much "fun" trolling from my perspective, just kindof being antagonistic with a negative attitude. Personally I would do more fun stuff, or just go try to find a better website to spend time on.
