Sorry, no link to some ‘news’ article. /s

I’m a newcomer myself, but it seems my feed is just filled with low-effort news links with no other content. It’s c/mildlyinfuriating at this point. Maybe moderators outside of communities that are specifically for current events could require at least an effort by the op to add some of her own thoughts?

Did you expect something else from a link aggregator?

[-] Madbrad200@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Yes. Reddit would not be what it is were it not for discussion.

The discussion is in the comments. It's even a meme that no one reads the article before commenting.

Most valuable and interesting info is not in the news liknk comments. But in personal posts and q&a.

People add "reddit" to the Google search, not to find s comment for news link.

In subreddits I was subscribed/active most of the post were not news/links at all: they were questions, personal experience etc.

The Discussion can still be there? Linking to a content is almost no different than Uploading said content straight to the instance, said content could even be OP's OC but uploaded to their own server for possibly many reasons, including true content ownership or saving the instance the data transfer costs

But this choice in no way stops conversation from happening, if nobody engages with a Linked News Article, the same Article copy pasted straight into the Instance wont get attention either

A LOT of posts, even some with 30 or 50 upvotes have no comments....

Some of the best parts (also the worst parts) of reddit were comment threads.

According to Wikipedia, lemmny is news aggregator and discussion forums.
