For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every ‘What’s the worst show you’ve seen?’ is asked, you’ll get 10,000 “Kardashians” answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that’s geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

    Why not recreate subs as communities? Sure assume subs could maybe be consolidated into a single community, but other time subs seemed to act just like communities here. Is there some aspect of communities in not seeing/ understanding? Or is that moreso just your opinion?

      I just don’t like the trend toward a Reddit clone. People should be more imaginative. Do we really need a “You Should Know” community? Not useful to me. Come up with something better, re-spin it and improve on it. Really could do without “AITA”. Smaller subs, as I said in a previous reply, are so specific that if they get repeated on Lemmy, it’s not really that they were repeated from Reddit. Like, let’s say a lot of people on Reddit like Aardvarks and had a sub about their devotion to Aardvarks. Having a community for that on Lemmy is not the same thing as having a clone of “You Should Know.” There are certain subs on Reddit that inadvertently contributed to creating a Reddit brand. I could do without those.
