A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

    Questions that are answered in the sidebar or wiki should be deleted like in the old forum days. The entire content of some Subreddits was literally the same question being asked over and over again without new input.

      That’s already happening here in AskLemmy. 90% of the posts are support questions, and there’s a sticky and a sidebar rule specifically banning those.

        I feel like some, especially smaller communities, prefer this kind of non-malicious spam to having no activity at all, to attract more users. This counts for Lemmy and for Reddit of course.

      Sidebar? I’m on an app, no sidebar. (With the pinned message, 1st you see, having the exact same content)

      I really miss baconreader. (A minute tad, lemmy with liftoff is so much better)
