By culture, I mean mannerisms, references and key words and phrases (like madlad, woosh, etc)
Lemmy is closer to what Reddit was 15 years ago, before the masses piled in and made Reddit literally average.
Most of us are Reddit refugees, so we’re bringing all that baggage with us, whether we want to or not.
The main draw of Lemmy for me is the feeling that I’m less exposed to the corporate BS.
Solely from the parts of the lemmyverse I frequent, yes definitely. People would think you’re quite silly if you talked like a redditor, even if they were too polite to openly mock you for it.
“This!”
“Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!”
Why do they have to say the things? People don’t say the things here.
This!
“One of us. One of us.”
It’s mostly the lemmy.world subs that just feel like reddit 2.0 tbh
They’re different but they are similar. They rhyme.
It’s like Reddit if everyone talked about Linux
Every subreddit has its own vibe. Some have fully transitioned here like linux and some of the meme sharing communities. Many have not. I cannot really think of communities on Lemmy that do not exist on Reddit.
I don’t know if you would count it but wir_iel doesn’t exist on Reddit but does in Lemmy
That’s highly dependent on the instance I find.
The obsession with Technology Connections seems to be unique to Lemmy. I think it’s memeified at this point!
I’ve been here for awhile and I’m still trying to learn lemmy specific lingo thrown out like tankie and some others
Tankie is not Lemmy specific
Well, nor is madlad or whoosh but tabkie is used super often in Lemmy
Lemmy has a much higher proportion of Marxists to other users than Reddit does, so the anti-Marxism is also pretty high in response.
i dunno i just shitpost
