All the content, none of the Spez? Or, is it better if Lemmy stays distinct?
Please don’t do this.
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 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.
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.
eh, maybe wait until 0.18 rolls out across the fediverse before scraping reddit for content
Oh? What’s that going to do? I’m out of the loop.
0.17.4 is what is used now and it has a number of issues - included the new/scrolling bug. 0.18 is supposed to fix that & other issues as well.

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 say keep it distinct.
Reddit has had its day.
It’d be kind of nice to play catch up a bit with the, what, 18 years of content on Reddit
I know it might feel soulless, but having a constant stream of “pre-approved” content isn’t the worst idea
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
