Why aren't we just stealing all of the top content from Reddit and posting it here?
Reddit doesn't actually own any of the content, right? Neither do any of the contributors? Seems like a good way to fuck Reddit.

I mean, the content here lately is 15 year old memes.
A lot of the boom is people that were too lame to get karma on Reddit so they spam dumb things here now and get upvotes because everyone is still in “upvote everything to help the community” mode.
Admittedly I've blocked the meme communities in my feed - but that's not what I wanted from Reddit or I want from here.
Yes, only a few are left visible for me like programmerhumor because I enjoy those but the rest is just noise for me

I think you hit the nail on the head, but personally, I stopped upvoting “to help the community” a while ago. Lemmy seems to be doing fine now so I’m not against downvoting at all either.
The people upvoting those crappy 15 year old memes aren’t against downvoting either, because when I mentioned how terrible the memes were I got downvoted.
And before that it was beans. We have our own rich meme history
