Reposting from Reddit (lemmy.world)

Wanted to ask you something. How do you feel about reposting from reddit, either posts that I have saved over the time of using it or "crossposting" manually to have more content here?

If anything, we should start filling Reddit with content hosted on various lemmy instances, to make it crystal clear where the OC is moving.

I don't think that is a good strategy to convince people to leave. Also it adds strains to the Lemmy instances.

I have no objections to a human individual deciding to dual-post their own new posts. I have no interest in tools trying to mass copy old posts. Lemmy communities either have to sink or swim on the strength of the human interactions they facilitate, robots copying old junk doesn't help anything.

Some of the aggregators I use have Reddit posts as content. If it's interesting I go to the source and post that to Lemmy. I'm not posting Reddit links. Not giving them traffic.

Mastadon is filled with bots that copy tweets from Twitter. They've been doing it for years, yet still have not gained traction. I think we can copy the style, but not the content. Post it as your own, make it original. I don't think Lemmy will continue it's momentum if it tries to be pseudo-reddit, or reddit 2.0. People will just stay/go back to reddit.

The site is a link aggregator, posting links to other social media is kinda its schtick
