I was searching by "Most comments" and came across this 3 year old post in c/AskLemmy. It's been 3 years since that post, so I thought a follow-up would be interesting.

I'm being lazy and just reading the topmost comments, which means everyone else responding to this will have to scroll further.

When people turn a popular post into an Oscars Acceptance Speech E.g:

ETA: wow thanks for the upvotes! ETA2: omg my first gold award?? I couldn’t have made it without my mom and Jesus through whom all things are possible

Wine. Nobody has ever done this on Lemmy AFAIK.

Creative writing presented as truth

Wine. But I sometimes like those posts xD

Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go

Milk. Also, i'm in this picture and I don't like it

Please don’t let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.

FINE WINE. We made a different community for that, and everyone remembered to use it. I think Lemmy users have a greater sense of shame than Redditors - people don't really like asking that bland sex stuff
