All the content, none of the Spez? Or, is it better if Lemmy stays distinct?

    I would rather have content posted by humans. Lemmy doesn’t need to be reddit anyway.

    In general, I really do not like this idea. Lemmy is Lemmy and should not, directly or indirectly, turn into Reddit.

    Nah. If you see something interesting just post the direct link to it instead of going through reddit. Lemmy is a content aggregator after all.

    It’d be a good idea to create an instance with different communities as someone said here for the kind of posts that people could contribute, no matter if reposts are made by people or by bots (in this case, posts need to be filtered by upvotes or upvotes ratio or manually selected), for example some posts I was referring to with my first comment were about some guides or wikis for certain apps, etc. Some important or interesting knowledge that won’t be here and that would make people like me forced to rely on Reddit.

    That’s why I said just get the content of those posts and just give credits to the OP without just copying a link to redirect people to Reddit.

    In fact, I wouldn’t want this to be filled with Reddit spam posts as most of them are useless.

    I think it’s like breaking up with someone and then dedicating yourself to building a weird, soulless android version of your ex.

    Nah. This is a fresh start. It’s been less than a week and theres already so much more content. It’ll grow soon enough. Especially with spez fucking around over there. We want og content here, not all the shit reposts that already plague reddit
