that’s actually a flaw not a feature, shitposting is the lowest effort posting in any community and a lot of subs on reddit ban shitposting from their subs because it drowns out all the other content and community
that is to say the most popular comm in this place takes the least effort
which makes lemmy less of a reddit alternative and more a 9gag alternative
Or it’s genius because anyone who has some shit to post in a real community either decides it’s better for here, where it can be enjoyed and it doesn’t drown out the real content, or they try it there, the mod stops them, and instead of getting all butthurt about it they can bring it here where it gets seen by more people anyway and still the real community stays pure.
