Finally tried the official Reddit app. It’s as bad as they say.

yeah, was gonna say that’s a user issue but it’s in the biggest scabreddit so that’s kind of on the admins too
By the way, it seems like the comments to that post could be also generated/copy-pasted by other bots… and another set of bots +1 that comments :0/
My 18mth deep depression exacerbated by doom-scrolling Reddit 12hrs per day may have been a fucking bot psyop to make me miserable. Lemmy has been a huge boost to my mood. Feel like I’m waking from a coma since coming here.
Wow I’m sorry. My Reddit app just stopped working and the app said “hey what about Lemmy” so now I’m here.
Me too feel way better than I did on Reddit. The comments and post don’t piss me off and I enjoy posting on here. Also nice not worrying over karma and if my post our comments are getting attention.
A weight off my shoulders.
It’s a symptom of the platform altogether. It has karma, which isn’t just ‘some number’, it actually changes how quickly your post hits hot and the front page. This is why people sell accounts.
I think Lemmy will have a much more organic feel until the major instances realize they can also manipulate posts for cash. However, I feel it will still lack a huge portion of reposts and repost bots
okay, that i didn’t know. i have come across subreddits with karma requirements and i’m also aware of the logarithmic relation between upvotes and post age (basically for every X amount of time you need 10x the upvotes to stay at the same relevance) but not that account karma actually counted for that one. it can help a lot with comment rate limits though.
11 years on Reddit and I didn’t know karma helped get to frontpage faster. I had 660k comment karma…
Now I remember I suspected this, before I deleted my account a couple of years ago. I bet that’s contributing to reddit getting worse. It breaks the user response mechanic.
