I don’t count posting a link you saw on Reddit as “taking top content from reddit and posting it here” so much as taking top memes and text posts. I do think bots should not be the ones doing it though, users should post links they find interesting. If that link came from Reddit it’s functionally no differerent than if it came from the Yahoo news page or the outlet itself.
I wanted to the first few days I was here, but the subs I would have done it for already had nothing being posted because all the content finders/makers left and started posting here in the reciprocating communities. The only thing left on Reddit are the dregs I wouldn’t even stop and get a better look at the thumbnail of while I scrolled.
Well, plugging my own ragepost a couple of days ago: https://lemmy.world/post/805180, that and the linked discussion from here on NSQ should give you a good idea of the arguments against it.
The counter question is: why would that be an improvement?
For me, the stuff with the 3PAs was just a final straw; there were lots of ways Reddit had gone downhill from when I first joined several years ago. I was happy that they was finally a workable alternative that was young and could potentially grow without the bad things about Reddit.
My ex wife is an ex for a reason, I’d never ask my wife now to try to be more like my ex. We can do better.
Isn’t that the point of voting? Keep the good parts of your ex so to speak. I’m definitely bored by the content here. Someone pointed out that this community is overwhelmed by millennial techies and it shows. Don’t get me wrong, I am one of those but damn I want more variety in perspective here
A number of people made bots to copy stuff over from Reddit, and that didn’t seem to create any more engagement in most cases, so I don’t see that as helping. I made my account here June 12th, so not that long ago, and the amount and variety of content has increased a lot. Too many memes for my tastes, but the place is clearly still growing. I think it’s doing well, considering.
I don’t see how it would ‘fuck Reddit’. Do you mean it would draw more people to using Lemmy/Kbin? Or have I misunderstood? Because that’s definitely not going to happen.
And if you want to see that stuff just go back to using Reddit.
In the past few years, a huge proportion of posts that made it to the front page are same stuff reposted over and over again. Maybe it’s good to have a fresh start.
If anyone didn’t get what OP mean, some Lemmy communities repost reddit content while providing link to original reddit post and name the original author. One such community is todayifoundout
Neither am I! Totally! Not one bit… after all, far be it from me, a humble peon, to pull traffic away from the content Spez has claimed as his personal fiefdom.
Because for better or for worse, Lemmy needs to be able to sustain itself and not have to rely on Reddit for content. Personally I’m really enjoying Lemmy so far.
Adding on to this: I’d rather see the Fediverse not become just Reddit 2.0. I personally very much like the vibes and communities we already got going on already.
I really, really don’t want the current Reddit where admin allows blatant adverts in posts, racism and homophobia and bans people who encourage protests.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That’s it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Because we’re not 9gag. Lemmy is supposed to be better not derivative.
It’s a link aggregator, there’s nothing wrong with that.
I don’t count posting a link you saw on Reddit as “taking top content from reddit and posting it here” so much as taking top memes and text posts. I do think bots should not be the ones doing it though, users should post links they find interesting. If that link came from Reddit it’s functionally no differerent than if it came from the Yahoo news page or the outlet itself.
Because then we are just a cheap reddit clone. I’d rather see Lemmy continue developing on its own terms.
I wanted to the first few days I was here, but the subs I would have done it for already had nothing being posted because all the content finders/makers left and started posting here in the reciprocating communities. The only thing left on Reddit are the dregs I wouldn’t even stop and get a better look at the thumbnail of while I scrolled.
I don’t want to spam Lemmy with trash.
I just went and saw the top all time feed of r/all and… I’m good. Rather not pollute this place like that.

I agree in general, though I like lemmit.online. That keeps everything separate - it’s almost archiving, really.

Very well said.

well, there are posts that are pictrues that are taken by op themselves. candid sometimes, selfie somtimes.
Because we’re not Reddit?
So, you don’t see the bots?
I might have turned that off day 1.

Wait, you guys aren’t?

Go for it?
