Reddit sucks, but back in the long long ago started by being a link repost website.

    long long ago started by being a link repost website.

    it didn’t actually. i was there in the beginning. sure, lots of stuff was reposted from digg during the exodus, but it was always just a link aggregator. and, like lemmy today during the flood of new Reddit users, lots of reddit stuff is getting reposted here, but lemmy is still just a link aggregator.

        you can find that bot and follow it. or just create an account on lemmy.online and you’ll see tons of it by default.

          I feel a bit thick but I can’t seem to find @bot@lemmy.online, !@bot@lemmy.online, or lemmy.online for that matter. Basically I’ve no idea how to follow a user. I can find communities fine, but yep, struggling here.
