All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.
It’s an inherent problem with the way the Reddit algorithm works, and considering Lemmy’s algorithm is somewhat similar, it’s probably an inherent problem here too.
You usually have to read a comment before upvoting it. If it’s a short pithy joke, that takes just a second. If it’s a lengthy, more thoughtful comment, that might take as much as a minute to read. One person can easily upvote 10 pithy comments in the time another person upvotes 1 deep insightful one. So lower quality content will tend to drift towards the top.
I would like to see novelty accounts like sprog or wildwatercolor take root again and the chains that turned into songs were fun. (Mostly because they were sporadic)

This is not a Reddit problem as much as it’s a people problem. It will happen here too over time.
There’s already in-jokes about not pooping and beans.

But I hope the pun threads die.
This is the way.
I also choose this guy’s wife.
And my axe!

Who could forget such intriguing comments as: “This.”, or “Inb4 [x thing happens]”, et al.
