A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I would not be interested, personally. Either you're like me, and still pop over to Reddit as long as certain subs have something to offer, or you're like most of the rest here and specifically wanted away from Reddit entirely. For either use case, I don't really see the value-add in clogging up Lemmy with Reddit noise. I graze over there, trying not to be too ideological about it but accepting it's on a downward trend and that meaningful interaction is limited, but I actually engage with people here.
Yeah my use case would be for those smaller communities that are very user limited such as a reddit for my local area that I hate having to go back to just to check what's going on with my local area.
Yeah, I can see that, but I kind of specifically like that what I see on Lemmy is at a more human pace and that I can talk to fellow Lemmings in any thread if I choose. Last year, some of the sports communities here were just bot-posting every single reddit topic and it was exhausting. It's not that I think there's no potential use case, just not compatible with how or why I use lemmy.
That is completely understandable... Would you say community based bots for those small use cases for certain people maybe make more sense than a full reddit bridge?
I dunno. I guess? I'm not subscribing to any of them.
If this is a useful and interesting project for you, by all means go ahead and enjoy until and unless Reddit messes up your scraper or API access. Based on what I'm reading here though, I don't think the more vocal lemmy users are really feeling it.
Yes, it needs to be on its own instance we can block.
