Idk if it’s possible, but if someone with the resources to make a bot that slowly clone reddit posts to Lemmy, so instead of searching for “something + Reddit” we could search for “something + Lemmy”, that would be the end of Reddit, at least for me.
I’m 100% on lemmy now, but occasionally when i need to troubleshoot my PC I still have to search on Google for Reddit posts and I hate myself for giving reddit traffic.
I miss the 2 dozens Cat Subs that flooded my feed with Cat memes and funny cat pics everyday. If anyone knows about any cat subs on Lemmy please reply here.
I am working on a bot that clones posts from reddit to lemmy
It’s for a community that wants to have a backup on lemmy in case reddit goes to complete shit
But wouldn’t we this way end up with a lemmy that is full of shit from reddit?
Ehhhh there’s pros and cons to that. r/all on any given day is just bots karma farming off eachother with maybe 1 or 2 good posts mixed in alongside the occasionally genuinely interesting news article, which obviously sucks.
But on the other side there is a TON of threads from the past decade that I know I still read once in a while and I’m sure others do too. Hell just yesterday I was looking for some info on mettalurgy and found a reddit thread where some guy asked my exact question and got good answers like 5 years ago. Having those be more accessible would be great… Plus a lot of niche communities are unfortunately just too small on Lemmy to produce the level of content they do on Reddit
I think it would be a good thing if social media platforms had a field to put a (free) license for one’s posts. I would immediately put mine under one. We do not live in that world.

I would love communities like r/asksience to thrive on Lemmy as it does on reddit, that’s for sure.

It exists its called lemmit
That is a good way to get sued for copyright infringement
Aaah yes, the Internet where all info is closed behind steel doors and can’t be shared.
Exactly what the inventors planned.

Aren’t all reddit comments under CC?
Not to my knowledge. There are websites where that is the case, like most wikis and Stack Exchange, but not reddit.
