It reminds me how Imgur is often discussing images that were uploaded for Reddit and OP will never know about all the comments.

one thing that I’ve noticed the last week when using Lemmy is that content is slowly coming along but the discussions are somewhat lacking.
Reddit offers a shitload of topics and content but the real reason we were there was for the comments and the discussions.
Bots reposting material can be a way to artificially secure the constant flow of topics but we need to throw some gasoline on the discussion bonfire…
When 90% of the comments are sarcastic or jokes like Reddit I can’t call that discussion or engaging. It’s noise just like all of the reposts and duplicate content.
I’ve been on kbin (the fediverse) for over a week and I feel the opposite of your sentiment. The content was lacking but discussion is A+. Content is definitely picking up steam now, but I don’t want the fediverse to be a reddit clone.
Reddit has really become overrun with the garbage comments in recent years.
It’s like all of the sudden everyone decided they were a comedian and reddit threads were the place to test their new material.
It really has been a huge piece of what’s been killing the appeal for me recently.
I really hope the fediverse isn’t going to be completely overrun with “this”, “this is the way”, “fuck around and find out”. FFS, people, try to have an original thought.
