What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid?
For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.
Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.
If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

I would say circlejerking. The Bean meme was very Reddit like, but maybe it is necessary to build an online community to have posts like that?
I kind of enjoy the circlejerking to an extent. It’s like watching fads come and go in real time, and I like seeing these dumb memes evolve over a week or two before disappearing
Circlejerking is incredibly fucking stupid, but I eat up stupid humour like candy so I personally support it. As long as serious/discussion spaces don't get contaminated, ofc
The bean thing felt very cringey and forced imo
I'm glad that's over. I would hate it when whole subreddits would get taken over with an inside joke for days at a time.
I'm pretty sure it is, but that bean meme was a little bit too much. On the other hand I can understand how people on this new platform are craving the feeling of community that memes and insider jokes evoke.
Oh, we aren't getting away from that here.
