One thing to note is more often people here reply with genuine comments and in good faith. There is also a lack of clever snarky comments and baiting due to the lack of karma system.
And the lack of karma also leads to more comments, as well. I liken lemmy to what the internet used to be like, where conversations among strangers happened regularly. It’s very rewarding and wholesome. Definitely not the “antisocial media” that reddit prides itself on.
Isn’t the up / downvote just like karma?
Karma on reddit tracks the accumulated likes and dislikes a user has gotten on all of their posts. Lemmy does not have a number like that.
Edit: What this means in practice is that on Reddit there are some users who make a lot of low-effort posts to get that karma number to go up and get a sense of accomplishment from that (even when they get a negative reputation among the other users), whereas on Lemmy that’s not really a thing. Lemmy has power-users that become well-known, but they’re more well-liked because they aim to gain actual reputation instead of just farming a karma number.
Don’t be a jerk and you will be fine.
We are all mostly human here. Just remember that. Hope you have a great time on the fediverse!
Each Lemmy instance has its own rules, and each community as well. Please read them before posting, because rule #3 for this community is:
- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
I don’t mean this rudely, but there are a lot of autistic IT nerds on here who are trying to be helpful, but come off as know-it-all and rude. If you keep that in mind, it’s a nice place.
im not even sure what reddiqutte was.
The community can mostly feel like it was skimmed off the top layer of ornery “erm, aktually” types from Reddit. The etiquette here is what you would expect from that. The days of “remembering the human” are dead and buried.
Like all places online, people and sub-communities vary, but that’s mostly the vibe I get whenever browsing the comments of just about anything that hits my instance’s All page.
I’ll take it any day over dealing with Reddit Inc’s chicanery, I guess.
