I just blocked all of them when they started spamming my feed.
"communities"
kind of a stretch to call those communities, when it's just a bot talking to itself.
Iβve honestly yet to see or feel those. I however exclusively browse my subscriptions feed, so I guess I filtered most of them out by my community choices?

Block lemmit.online dude. Lemmy has supported users blocking instances for months. Or block @bot@lemmit.online, because Lemmy has supported blocking users for even longer.

Every day complaints about capitalism
To be fair, that was a lot of my Reddit, too. Antiwork and work reform were constantly on the front page lol.

Constantly telling people to install Linux, completely disregarding any nuance.
People saying how it's no better than Reddit, without contributing anything but vitriol and negativity.
Yeah it does seem a bit more pessimistic than reddit to me, I wonder why it is
Interesting, I feel the opposite. I have had a few run-ins with⦠interesting people on here, but nowhere near as bad as on Reddit.

I feel like they're a small minority of people who came here expecting it to be exactly like Reddit, but "better" without any clear understanding of what that actually means lol
The answer to damn near every question being "the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it"
A way to stop this from being the case is the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it

Linux and the whole FOSS everything thing.
Except when it comes to entertainment. Then it's "Don't touch my Plex"
Decide: FOSS everywhere or where applicable and don't force your vision onto other users.
Really? I generally see people responding to Plex stuff by recommending jellyfin.

Stumble across an interesting community that's been dormant for a few months
Decide to try making my own post there to see if others will follow and get the community going again
Get immediately downvoted by the subscribers who haven't posted anything for 6 months and yelled at for posting something that's not exactly what they wanted to see there, even though it clearly fits the rules
Make a few more posts in hopes of winning someone over then give up because people are being dicks or just not engaging at all
Eventually give up and watch the community die again
This has happened to me several times since I started using Lemmy lol
Post food in food porn. Gets ridiculed because my food is an abomination and should not be called by the foods name. See others post butchered regional food that i definitely know the locals will not recognize as that food. That post gets praised for putting an effort. WTF?

Honestly, just keep posting. You'll bend them or they'll start posting their own interests.

Linux
It feels more like a community.
Like it's not quite what message boards used to be, where every user seem to have their own unique identity that everyone seems to be aware of... But it's more so that then something like Reddit.
I've seen users call out other users saying things like You must be the guy that posted that thread the other day... Or something like that

"Hey Lemmy, I need a new refrigerator. Are there any good FOSS (preferably federated) options available?"
That and Star Trek memes.

FOSS
The most Lemmy thing for me is that I see more wholesomeness here than on Reddit, I'm not sure if that is the answer you were looking for, but that has been my experience so far.

Talking about Lemmy.
People complaining about privacy of everything, including lemmy itself (this is a good thing).
Fuckwits trying to spam their YT channel with a 20 minute video containing one minute of information

Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It's extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.
As someone who tries to read the articles a lot of them actually suck. They barely contain more info than the headline and hit you with an annoying pop-up or paywall.
I would not ever recommend reading any gaming related news article.

I think it's worse here b/c 90% of the articles I come across are paywalled, so I come to the comments to see if anyone posted the full text & I just see a bunch of comments about the headline.

Putting "rule" in the title for reasons I don't understand.
I think that's the 196 community. One of the rules is that if you show up, you have to post something, so my understanding is that people just put "rule" in the title to say that they're complying with that rule.
