Similar to the time Soviet Russia wanted to join the anti-Soviet alliance which was trying to pretend wasn’t made to plot against the soviets.
So I’d get reddit content without having to deal with reddit’s nonsense layout and terrible app? That sounds kinda nice actually.
I mean you’re already getting Reddit content, Lemmy is basically just Reddit reposted.
Except for the gifs.
And the thousands of niche communities/subreddits.
Lemmy.world is Reddit 2, most other instances are actually pretty unique.
Instance check
All the downvotes but literally every post here I see is on Reddit hours or days beforehand.
You’re on Lemmy.world, lol. It was designed to be a FOSS clone of Reddit.
It’s because people don’t understand that Lemmy.World specifically serves as a Reddit replacement, but other communities don’t serve this purpose.
It demonstrates the misunderstanding that Lemmy.World is Lemmy.
We already have Lemmy.World no need for two of them
Wdym, reddit already joined fediverse, it’s called lemmy.world.
Hey! As a person who used to use reddit but got tired of how terrible it was then moved to the first Lemmy instance I could find, I… Agree? I’m not really sure.
Add their instance to my block list
Same.
They would block lemmygrad, so I don’t really have to care. Being on lemmygrad makes that stuff self selective. 🎉
Poorly, I left for a reason.
lemmy.world is already federated
You’re looking for Lemmy.world, and the answer is that it swallows up the larger part of the main federated instances, and becomes one of the worst instances.
Everyone would likely defederate from them, much in the same way that you all rushed to close the shutters upon Threads.
I also don’t ever see this happening, unless Spez fucks up with Reddit so badly that it sparks a mass user exodus, much in the same way that Digg v4 sank any hopes of Kevin Rose remaining a successful tech entrepreneur.
I haven’t heard of that name in a long time.
The best I’ve got is, it’s complicated. I left reddit very purposely to avoid a lot of the corp side BS and the results of that on the user base. The number of bots and bought/paid accounts alone is enough of a reason not to go back. It’s been getting pretty steadily worse for the last decade at least and while I think the fediverse is kind of toxic, I know for a fact from first hand experience that reddit is more so by a large margin. I want Lemmy to have more users and more communities. I miss reddit for the sheer number of niche communities that haven’t moved over. I don’t have time to start and moderate a community myself. But I don’t want reddit here. I welcome users who want to follow the rules. I don’t welcome wholesale reddit occupation of this space.
It wouldn’t bother me. I wouldn’t subscribe to any subreddits though.
I would get banned from their instance for saying I approve of people physically fighting Nazis. It would be nice to have more people to fill out niche communities though.
I’d use it again from my home instance. It would be a show of good faith that they’re letting people integrate with their API again, even if that API is just the standard activity pub one.
I got banned from r/gaming for shit talking pedos. I don’t want these people here.
They would immediately defed lemmygrad and hexbear, so it would not make a difference.
