Please don’t do this.

Nah. If you see something interesting just post the direct link to it instead of going through reddit. Lemmy is a content aggregator after all.

I’m not entirely against the idea, but also really don’t want to turn the fediverse into the flood of content that is reddit. Maybe some kind of relative upvote filter based bot. Only posts that get some certain percentage of above average number for a given sub, get scraped.

I think the community is much more important than just having more content. I would worry that by flooding Lemmy with Reddit’s content without the community to support that content could drown everyone out.

Thoughts: Content is good atm. If it’s spammy it’ll get blocked. Or the instance de-federated. Is going to Reddit boosting reddit or draining it by using the content. Reddit has a lot of bad content that Lemmy is free of.

Nah. This is a fresh start. It’s been less than a week and theres already so much more content. It’ll grow soon enough. Especially with spez fucking around over there. We want og content here, not all the shit reposts that already plague reddit

If I wanted to lurk Reddit, I would just do that. Better to stay your separate thing. It is nice to sometimes get news about the other side of the fence.

I say keep it distinct.

Reddit has had its day.

Use what fediverse is good at. Make an instance where these bots reside and anyone who doesn’t want them can just defederate.

Bots in general suck.

But if you as a human want to sift and repost reddit content, please do.

I think it’s like breaking up with someone and then dedicating yourself to building a weird, soulless android version of your ex.

I think many would be more interested in a migration tool. A way of porting a subreddit’s worth of content to lemmy and start off strong, as well as preserve what might be several subreddits getting nuked as damage control.

As Reddit turns into a trash, the moderation and content quality will drop. Import the content may seem interesting at first, but in the long run it won’t worth the effort.

You could dedicate a community to reddit reposts easy enough. If people want to see the stuff from reddit they can sub, if they would rather wash their hands of reddit they can ignore it or block it.
