OK, I’ll get stoned for saying this, but I’d welcome it if done properly.

It’s a large user base, lots of niche communities.

The more complicated part would be moderation, as that’s already a problem now. Also, resources may be a problem.

None of its supposed assets make up for the corporate overlords who run it and promote or permit all sorts of terrible things

I meaaaan, while I did join Lemmy because I was sick of reddit the company’s greedy decisions, I do miss the amount of users and content it has/generates. If reddit joining the fediverse meant they couldn’t dictate what app I use to view their posts, I probably would enjoy being able to browse their content again.

You can kinda already do that, apps like rdx, Stealth, and Geddit pull reddit content without using the API. You can’t vote/comment, but you can still follow communities that have worthwhile content.

Same tbh idk if it’s the community or the app for me

NOFF ,

So I’d get reddit content without having to deal with reddit’s nonsense layout and terrible app? That sounds kinda nice actually.

I mean you’re already getting Reddit content, Lemmy is basically just Reddit reposted.

Not when you block that reposting bot. Every once in a while I’ll see something that’s a screenshot from reddit, but that’s fine. We can get content from all over. Reddit used to get 9gag screenshots and commenters would throw up in their mouths a little over that.

njm1314 ,

I’m not talking about a bot. Just scroll around and then go to Reddit for a while. Same exact content.

cogitase ,

That’s just the Internet now. Every site has content pulled from other sites and their share of local content. Then it gets reposted with more compression artifacts each cycle until it degrades and returns to the earth.

Sometimes i see something on reddit that ive seem already here. Very little is OC

Except for the gifs.

And the thousands of niche communities/subreddits.

All the downvotes but literally every post here I see is on Reddit hours or days beforehand.

A) It’s not literally every post

B) Stop using reddit. Problem solved.

Which makes me think they won’t do that, at least until they realize their current plan won’t work out in the long run. So far they’ve been going in the opposite direction by locking down everything:

  • killing off third party apps
  • making it difficult to access on old Reddit or mobile web
  • only letting search engines index the site if they pay
  • talk of paywalling subreddits

It wouldn’t bother me. I wouldn’t subscribe to any subreddits though.

i feel like it would get defed from places like hexbear pretty fast so it wouldn’t bother me.
