Wanted to ask you something. How do you feel about reposting from reddit, either posts that I have saved over the time of using it or “crossposting” manually to have more content here?
I have no objections to a human individual deciding to dual-post their own new posts. I have no interest in tools trying to mass copy old posts. Lemmy communities either have to sink or swim on the strength of the human interactions they facilitate, robots copying old junk doesn’t help anything.
If anything, we should start filling Reddit with content hosted on various lemmy instances, to make it crystal clear where the OC is moving.
I don’t think that is a good strategy to convince people to leave. Also it adds strains to the Lemmy instances.
The site is a link aggregator, posting links to other social media is kinda its schtick
I think it’d be a chore and very few people who start doing this will keep doing this unless there’s a tool like the ones that let you post to Twitter and Mastodon at the same time.
Some of the aggregators I use have Reddit posts as content. If it’s interesting I go to the source and post that to Lemmy. I’m not posting Reddit links. Not giving them traffic.
Maybe the opposite? If that’s possible. I’d rather crosspost from Lemmy to reddit.
