Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Most people didn't hate the content, they hated the sudden and rapid changes to reddit this month.

Have you just stayed out of your news sections on the Fediverse?

Also what is a Fediverse Community vs a Reddit Community to you?

Presumably because everyone else just wants reddit but less shit. If spez hadn't decided to go insane and tank the usability of the site, yeah, I'd still be there. Fact of the matter is that reddit still has a bunch of content I want to see, but doesn't exist over here.

My understanding is that some users dislike reddit but very much like their specific small communities in it. They want to maintain the value of their community without relying on Reddit to host the content, so they are trying to migrate to places like the Fediverse. With that being said, I only support that for smaller subs with their own established community culture. Also, transition is hard so some people want a few familiar landmarks while navigating this new land.

The problem is that Reddit as it is now is a treasure trove of good comments by some very intelligent and knowledgeable people. You can find a good answers to most of questions by adding Reddit to the search on Google.

Tbh I don't really care about the fediverse, I just wanted to find the communities that I lost and if I can have them in one place again, the better. It's not that I can't understand why would you want the fediverse for the fediverse, but I only learned about it to do what I came to do and didn't interest me beyond that.

I agree with that, however there is also some value to having the posts there. For example some local subreddits that I moderate I'd love to be able to kind of "mirror" the posts occuring on reddit as often times things being posted are events, local news, or local recommendation style things. I don't want to have to manually repost all the news articles that people post for example.

It would be kinda neat to see a browser extension that could integrate these Lemmy communities in a "cross-post" style manner like Reddit does. Allow you to view both reddit and lemmy discussions based on the link.

I think that's a fair concern, but it may be a good route for smaller communities to migrate and try and grow their communities.

World News is a big reddit community so I can imagine content flooding happening.

EDIT: Also this is happening only on Lemmit.online which is designed to be a Reddit mirror. So this makes some sense for people willing to try it out or wanting it separate from the active communities.

This will happen. A lot of people did this initially in Mastodon, but it just resulted in feeds getting spammed by reposts from Twitter and drowning out actual posts. Most such users just ended up getting blocked, and others stopped reposting blindly on the fear of getting blocked. My mastodon feed looks so much better without those annoying reposts.

RSS isn't the API. On the other hand if this takes off, I'd suspect that they'll end that too.

They should. You need to search for it to make it available on your instance.

You can request them yourself in the requests community.

If you visit Lemmit.world, you can post requests and they will go into a community in Lemmit.world. It's been set up as a sort of Reddit mirror, and people can subscribe to those communities from across the rest of the Thrediverse.

I think if you wanted to pipe into an existing community then you'd probably be looking at running a Bot yourself that can post the content directly into that community in the same way. It may be worth asking on Lemmit.world to see what is involved, but also on lemmy.ml to see if that is an acceptable thing to be trying on that instance.

Not sure. Probably if you run the bot yourself. I think it's open source.
