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?
I’m not loving the RSS/Reddit bot posts really, I’m personally blocking a lot of such lemmy-bots.
I’m a fan of people sharing links and starting conversations or showing off an interesting/shiny thing with the communities themselves.
To…maybe be not Reddit for a change. 🤔
Then again I’m an elder Millennial and remember live journal and myspace.
I mean I’m here weening off reddit as well.
Could see the benefit of temporarily posting reddit moderator/pin posts or such. Emphasis on temporary.
But the daily influx of such stuff when I attempt to view All as New is certainly a journey.
