I never want this crappy comment section. In long threads there is a load more option but it opens a new site with the comments. Then you go back and scroll the whole way down again πŸ™„

Politically motivated communities, even if the community has nothing to do with politics

β€œYa’ll can’t behave.”

I mean, I have nothing against moderating whatsoever and I appreciate good mods. But that specific phrase always made me cringe. I just hope I don’t find every potentially controversial post already locked when I open it with YaLL CAn’T bEhAVe or similar condescending laziness at the top.

Communities as hashtags.

You know what I want to see start, though? /r/switcharoo. Please please please we need to somehow start a good ol Lemmy switcharoo.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I fucking loved the switcheroo on subreddot links

Ironically, it was always people using third party apps that can see it when you do it, so now everyone should be extra weak to it
