Reddit sucks, but back in the long long ago started by being a link repost website.

long long ago started by being a link repost website.

it didn't actually. i was there in the beginning. sure, lots of stuff was reposted from digg during the exodus, but it was always just a link aggregator. and, like lemmy today during the flood of new Reddit users, lots of reddit stuff is getting reposted here, but lemmy is still just a link aggregator.

lemmit.online is an instance where a bot reposts Reddit content.

How can I set up my Jerboa to show me this in my feed?

you can find that bot and follow it. or just create an account on lemmy.online and you'll see tons of it by default.
