I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

lemmy's algo seems in theory to work better, but we'll only know when the userbase here gets large enough.

On reddit, once a thread got past 300+ comments, the only way to get any views on your comment was to post it as a nested comment in a top-level comment.

most power users realised that, i think. and that's what led to the pun chains.
