Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

The comment "This" is annoying to me. Just use the upvote button!

Yea that seems like something that started showing up more as time went on and more users joined. The trends and jokes did get tiring.

And my axe!

This. I usually try to avoid commenting just β€œThis” and try to give more explanation why I’m saying that. Feel like that’s the proper way of doing it.

Personally I am commenting and posting much more now than ever on reddit. I want to transition to lemmy and see it grow as I refuse to use the Android reddit app.

I am not typing/imagining a comment and then not posting it here either like many people do on reddit. It seems like a good time to become less of a lurker.

Agreed, especially with how new Lemmy is, it just really feels like it needs our engagement to succeed and get more people to join.

I remember when I first got on reddit, it was still bigger than lemmy is now, but it still felt small enough that commenting actually felt worthwhile. Definitely excited to be here. Tryna engage as much as possible so people feel there's a community to join

Yeah. Honestly I'm way more active here. Granted my whole time on the fediverse is like a week or two, but Ive made more comments today than I have in like a decade on reddit. I could easily see myself not returning to reddit.

If I'm not mistaken, because lemmy by default sorts comments by newest, if you comment something more users will see it, but on reddit it'll get stuck at the bottom.

The comment "this" comes from sites that don't have votes. The equivalent here is voting. It really is that simple.

[–] bruh@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Add back the hardcoded slur filter but just for these kind of comments

Agree. Kind of relatedly, anyone know what boost does versus an upvote?

Assuming they use Mastodon terminology it likely means the same thing as a retweet.

(For anyone confused, OP's using kbin, not Lemmy)
