What’s stopping us from using the api to post all of reddit here in a massive one-time merger?
Obviously the Lemmy devs would have to do it, but would there be legal issues? I think it would solve most of the problems with Lemmy, really.
There are servers that do this. You get a whole bunch of mostly terrible content (with not votes to rise good stuff to the top) and no way to interact with the original poster or commenters. It’s not great.
If you see a thread on Reddit that you are interested in, consider making a similar one here.
I don’t want a reddit 2.0, I want what lemmy may become on its own.
95% of reddit is garbage. If you could bring just the 5% of stuff that is useful, sure. Otherwise we’re just duplicating the problem.
