I just double checked top 20 posts sorted by “hot”. Only 2 has any relation to Software. Zero posts relating to Linux. Is there a particular post you have in mind?
The joke or reply-bait (like dallo describes!) posts aren’t great content. Looking over the community it’s mainly moderately serious topics that do make for decent conversation… I don’t see anything about Linux (?) so I assume that’s just your stereotype for Lemmy.
It’s not really a stereotype, and idm it personally (I do like Linux), it just looks like most posts that aren’t either serious or talking about Linux here just get downvoted to hell
Stereotypes can be accurate. Anyway, I don't know how you're viewing or sorting the community, but your post is the only one on the first page that even mentions Linux.
On Reddit, joke (usually bad joke, low effort meme or pop culture reference) comments were the absolute worst kind of spam that destroyed the readability of comment threads.
That sort of content belongs in its own space, not polluting places that are still worth reading.
Sub? Where’s the sub? Battle stations!!! Arm the torpedoes and depth charges!!! :D
We haver loads of communities for messing about, memes and just general banter. I think this community as well as !nostupidquestions and loads of others are for more serious questions.
Zis it outrageous!
We tschermans have very good humor, ja?A few days ago, I asked a philosopher to think for me, ja? He said he Kant. Isn't that funny?! KANT!
Ya, like my chestnuts being lazy thread got ripped a new one :( Many humorous posts go the way of the Dodo bird, its pretty ridiculous
Maybe if there’s a better place, I’'d just do that but it still seems excessive. And we have our share of schizos obsessed with pounding their big red downvote button—no diet coke necessary
How so? I think it perfectly encapsulates human culture.
People literally gather in rooms to listen jokes (comedy clubs, stand up performances etc). And others gather in different rooms to listen to music, for example. But if you show up in the music room and start performing stand-up, people will tell you, you’re in the wrong place.
