My colleague's lad has randomly started telling anyone who will listen: "my mum's getting new boobies".

This lady is in fact not getting new boobies, and they're both at a loss as to why the kid has suddenly decided that, and why he has chosen to announce it.

Legend.

She likely made a joke at home and the kid took it to heart.

Is Lemmy just going to be old reposts from Reddit?

Let's all take a moment to appreciate calling a screenshot of Twitter a Reddit repost

[-] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

I called it that because this exact screenshot of a Twitter post, I've seen on Reddit multiple times already. Now it's here too.

Here I made this just for you:-)

More seriously, that's somewhat the purpose of this community though? There are tons of other communities featuring more (if not quite exclusively) OC, like !tenforward@lemmy.world and !lotrmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !starwarsmemes@lemmy.world, and that's just picking on memes.

PieFed.social isn't ready for mainstream, but even without an account you can use its Categories of Communities feature to discover new ones that you want to subscribe to.

So much of lemmy is literally just bots posting Reddit posts

The Picard maneuver is not a bot and that's what matters

I think it depends on the instance. Some instances like to import a bunch of Reddit communities, sometimes with a slightly different name, and then start copying posts made on the subreddit to the lemmy community to get the ball rolling.

I wouldn't go as far as blocking instances, but blocking communities that you aren't interested in can go a long way to customize your feed with more original content

Reddit is just old reposts from Twitter and Tumblr. It's fine.

The real problem is that noboct created a "redditreposts" subreddit.
