I think it’s great that so many people want to build and grow Lemmy, but why are we doing it by copying over Reddit content? It didn’t seem as bad when it was funny pics or memes or whatever, but now I’m seeing discussion threads, which doesn’t make sense to me.
I can kind of see it if a Reddit mod decides to move their forum from there to here, and wants to start with their existing content, but otherwise I’m not sure this is a good thing.
What do you guys think?
It’s basically how reddit got its start - as an aggregator of content that originated elsewhere.
I’m personally archiving some of the great content from my community on Reddit because it meant so much to me, and to lose it would be a shame. I think it’s important for us to preserve the foundational content of our communities.
transitional period i’d assume to make it easier for people to ease in, when the content they’re expecting still flows in
I don’t give a flying fuck.
