That’s how Reddit was for the majority of its life. This isn’t strange, the stuff that made people stay during that time is the conversations you can have in comments

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Its a link aggregator, links get aggregated
Theres a bunch of original content if you look at the right communities. For example [email protected]
yeah lmao, the whole point is to bring in stuff from the rest of the web. Lemmy is not a platform for content, it's for aggregation and comments
Yeah Lemmy is a link aggregator, like reddit
Post some OC then
Even the communities on lemmynsfw are growing in that regard as well ..... Not that I would know much about that .....
I’m doing my bit about that. A little slowly though. Don’t want to flood it.
I will in time.
Then hold the criticism until.
I have aldready made a few OC's
In that case, it's a bit weird that you keep registering new accounts so you can be here.
Also, it's a link aggregator, your complaint is the entire point lol.
This is my only account pal.
OK, pal. 🙂
I'm not your pal buddy.
The Lemmy I see daily is 90% memes straight to my eye holes
Tldr should really be mandatory for any link. Doubly so for video or audio content.
Exactly
It depends on the community and what your interests are, TBH. There are even instances that have their own core topics, actually.
OC on most of the communities is still growing and it's going to take a while to be at the level Reddit is at.
As far as the TLDR issue, there are bots that do a fairly good job of summarizing websites. I am surprised you haven't seen them.
I am too suprised i have never seen those bots
At complete random, I found a post where the AutoTLDR bot showed up: https://lemmy.world/post/11737650 (that is an odd post and didn't fully load when I clicked that link. The bot is there, though.)
I believe that particular bot needs to be invited to the community though. Some news communities use that bot, some other bots will also TLDR their own posts.
Funny enough, I clicked on about 4 different OC posts while looking for AutoTLDR....
Worst of all it's JUST news.
dont you shit on Risa like that, the backbone of the OC gaurd. The servers broke but Risa held stong... or.... something more original...
