Why link to reddit?
Whilst Lemmy is growing and trying to compete in content against the goliath that is reddit it needs to be reposted so to speak. I’m not about taking original or potentially original posts and claiming them as my own so it’s good practice to source the location of the original.
We are competing with a platform that has existed since 2005, it’s no easy task. You may find posts that are original posts. Just again best practice. Source the original.
Just credit the reddit user, that’s all you need. If anyone really cares they can go to reddit and look at their profile. That way you can still give credit where credit is due, and not increase reddit foot traffic.
In fairness, I have just been doing this when mildly infuriating was born (5 days ago) and I want to ensure I am doing enough in terms of respecting the original poster. It is a good suggestion though.
I guess a template of “Repost from [username] on [insert website]” would do fine." Good comment!
I would rather provide a link/credit to where I found it. Unfortunately reddit is a place that incentivises and encourages people to repost without care/credit to the original. It isn’t much different to 9gag, or any other website either to be honest.
This is a moral choice but I don’t think there is a right answer here. In fighting isn’t very productive either way. This is the most I’ll probably discuss it here. I’m listening to the advice given to me by @Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works because I think it’s a good balance.
I want to make lemmy & the fediverse the best it can be and not follow in the footsteps of other platforms. Reddit specifically but not limited to reddit.
I respect your opinion, but given the context I am using it I disagree.
Wait, so we’re just reposting reddit posts on here? I’m not sure I understand the point of that.
To get people you need content and to get content you need people. Work takes priority over scouring my local town for unique content. Shit just doesn’t work like that
I have produced plenty of OP here too as well as reposts. This is just the nature of the internet nowadays, if they aren’t entertained they leave
What is even the point of this?
Remember the end of Titanic, when the crew needs to keep the poor folks away from the life rafts?
That didn’t really happen tho.
The problem with 3rd class passenger not getting to the lifeboats was that the boat deck was accessible to I class, II class and ships crew. The III class folks were completely unfamiliar with that part of the ship (and parts leading to boat deck - the whole superstructure). At first some officers were mentioned to have enforced class segregation between areas but that was also a time when people went back to their cabins because “this ship is unsinkable, nothing bad will happen”. When it became clear the ship is doomed the III class did reach the boat deck but already most life boats were launched.
Someone’s just gonna pee across the gate into the floor of the bathroom lol
Fill up a dollar store water gun with pee. Blast that stream as far as it’ll go
Gotta train them kids to become familiar with prison environments. There’s a whole industry waiting for them.
Why link to Reddit? Just give credit to the original source and be done.
