MODERATORS
The "obligatory" jokes, copypasted every time someone writes a certain thing. I would always downvote them. I am thinking about blocking users that continue that here.

“What the title says…” I hate when people start the body of their post referring to the title of the post as if isn’t self-explanatory, that the two are related.
I don't care about ads on Reddit. They aren't intrusive, although I don't like fake "organic content". I think the worst thing is seeing the same thing over and over again in the same sub, being reposted by bots. It's OK if it's from time to time, but they don't even try to change the title.
RPAN or something like that. I don't know why I would go to Reddit for livestreams. I certainly wouldn't come to Lemmy for it, either.
All the “helpful” bots filling the comments with annoying messages.
Paywall articles, or articles from "news sites" that are all opinion pieces marauding as factual reporting
Unoriginal and boring "ask" threads
I was going to say 'a community full of really simple questions that should have just been queried via a search engine' (this post is a pleasant exception to what I'm used to ftr), but then I saw what community this was so my final answer will be: Onlyfans ads poorly disguised as relevant material for whatever community.

Just less outrage, more harmony.

I happen to love megathreads. When a major breaking news happens I want to discuss it with the community, not read a dozen smaller threads repeating the same.
First comment being, from a automateded bot.
Former mod here: The reason so many subs employed automod to leave a message on every post is because most users wouldn't read anything. They wouldn't read the rules, or recent announcements - the only way to ensure that they even saw information you wanted them to see was to literally have a bot reply to every post shoving it in their face. It is annoying, extremely, but it was really one of the only ways.

That stuff, it's so dumb.
Also, "Username checks out"
Hatred towards emojis.
Reddit downvotes anything with emojis. Like why? Do you guys not have friends? Everyone uses emojis these days when texting.
I will admit I used them WAY less before I started dating my girlfriend, but if you try to be social in any way, you will need to just accept emojis.
Plus they look cute, and convey emotions. Not sure what there is to hate? 🤔
I don’t know, posts from trolls that contain multiple “🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣” we’re very annoying,

I realize this basically makes me satan to a lot of redditors so I never talked about it over there, but I HATED the whole cutesy schmoopsy poem shtick a couple of users would do that everyone would upvote to the top of a handful of threads every day. An AI could be churning out that saccharine doggo speak and nobody would ever know the difference, but people go nuts for it.
Sprog is doing high art, and you can't convince me otherwise. No AI will never achieve the levels of comedic prowess this person has
Communities as hashtags.
You know what I want to see start, though? /r/switcharoo. Please please please we need to somehow start a good ol Lemmy switcharoo.
'story time!'
Up votes. Actually wait a minute.
In all seriousness, any dumb, little thought out comments.
I would like to hope Lemmy is the Reddit of old before the masses ruined it.
I'm loving Lemmy right now.
That new ugly UI.
It's so damn cluttered.
