Makes sense! I wish I knew rust so I could chip in but I don’t think my angular/dotnet skillset will be of much use, and I don’t really have the free time to pick up a new lang
I’d love this to be a built in Lemmy feature. I see their value, but I want to block all of the instances that are just bots reposting Reddit links. There’s never any valuable discussion on those posts, and that’s why I’m here.
Not disagreeing per se, but for sites like Twitter and its clones, you go where the people you care about are. I have a mastodon account but I couldn’t tell you the last time I opened it because nobody I follow is there, and I don’t really care about following general topics or hashtags.
As opposed to a site like Reddit, the content is what matters, and I can get that content anywhere (RSS feeds, blogs, here, etc)
Yeah, I personally don’t want that. I want to be able to log in to mastodon or lemmy without needing a facebook account and be able to interact with my less tech savvy friends and family, as well as get news from journalists/bands/sports teams/etc.
But probably not enough to make a bit immediate impact on Reddit. I’m more interested in long term impact, seeing if the people who left were big contributors, or just mostly lurkers
