    Reposting popular material isn’t a reddit thing, it’s a human thing.

    There will always be someone who just discovered that whatever from a couple years ago and likes it enough to post it. The larger the user base, the more common this becomes.

        Voat (something I used before I realized it was just a racism thing (I know, I know, it’s very obvious in retrospect)) would point you at an existing post if you posted the same link.
        The execution was bad, and I have some issues with the concept, but it did make me think maybe there is a solution to that particular problem.

          In a different universe, most social medias use OCR and image recognition technology to handle this instantly and easily. This meant a huge reduction in bandwidth and storage issues on the great WWW which eventually lead to world peace.

          This universe seems to be… Behind where it’s supposed to be?

    When you really kinda like the Lemmy fediverse thing, but people post their memes to multiple communities without using crospost so you keep seeing the same thing over and over.

    As someone who left reddit over 2 years ago never go go back, a lot of the posts that people classified as “reddit reports” I have never seen before 😂

    I think it’s more common when communities are newly created, as people want to populate the community with some content to kickstart activity and interest.

    So hopefully it’ll just even out eventually, when communities become more self-sustaining and active.

      One of the fundamental issues is that it’s just people.

      People are going to talk about things like people do, and just because it ends up looking like Reddit or whatever doesn’t mean that this is a bad thing.

      It just means that format is one of the ways that people tend to communicate.

    Almost as if its a reddit alternative… then again you can select which communities you wanna see and the smaller ones are pretty good usually.

      I think that politics being overbearing is hopefully just a trait of the election in the US, now that it’s over hopefully the US politics fanatics can move on to bigger and better things. Fingers Crossed.

        Oh, man. Where is that “living under a rock” video when I need it?

          I may be optimistic, it didn’t seem to be that way prior to the US election cycle, then again though, there were less people at that time.

            The world was different before their elections.

            It’s not even something you can escape by changing your community. We will have some more time of the US dominating the discussion. Here’s hope it’s not a lot more time, but we will have some.

    In the biological sciences world, this is known as “you are what you eat”. My impression is that this place has always kinda been the most popular alternative destination for redditors (exes or otherwise).

    Can’t escape Cory Doctorow’s observation that the internet is “five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of text from the other four”.

    We may be away from those 5 sites, but the behaviours and content from them is very much here.
