Lemmy should just go its own way and forget about cake day and karma farming, and instead reward original content, until reddit starts copying Lemmy

IMO the issue is not copying cherry picked good features from Reddit, but to indiscriminately copy features because “since Reddit has it, Lemmy got to have it too”, without paying attention if they actually benefit the Threadiverse.

Bots are one thing like that. Communities could have features built in that was not possible on Reddit since admins are part of the community now.

Good catch on bots - they’re a great example of that, since the underlying idea (less busy work) is 100% worth copying but not the implementation.

In fact IMO Lemmy bots are already a bit too similar to Reddit bots in a bunch of undesirable ways. For example they’re created and kept as “pseudo-users”, instead of tools associated with a (human) user in their profile.

Unpopular Opinion

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
