What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

I really dislike replies to questions that aren't really lengthy or offer any discourse. I always found people to reply just with the title of a film when someone would ask "whats your favourite movie and why?" on askreddit. Too often people would just write the name of the film and that was it, made the whole experience redundant. I feel like this got worse after years of being on the site.

Reddit gold.

Annoying clickbait titles on posts making you click to see wtf they were talking about - EG: "Can we take a second to thank this character in Game of Thrones"

God yes, this annoyed me so much in AskReddit threads. I've always been tempted to make one of those snarky AskReddit threads which would be like: "Why do you never explain why something is good/bad, and only drop the name of it?"

Yeah honestly I stopped browsing AskReddit because of that. And I don't think it was necessarily entirely the commenters' fault, I think it was that the questions have gotten worse over time.
