Reddit doesn’t actually own any of the content, right? Neither do any of the contributors? Seems like a good way to fuck Reddit.

Couldn’t it just be under some kind of hierarchy so people who don’t want to see it could avoid it, and those who want to tap in to get their content fix but keep off reddit itself…
I worry about lemmy not giving people enough of what reddit provides and people driftng back. I know I haven’t yet managed to get lemmy to provide me the fix I was getting from reddit, yet. Part of that might be because I need to move my subscribed subreddits over, but for most people that is quite a barrier to stay here.
Don’t get me wrong, I want this to succeed, 1000%, and I agree with many arguments here about reposting can screw things up, but maybe we need to think about how we will maintain our momentum if people are still going to check reddit regularly because lemme isn’t yet providing their fix.
For me, because I’m not getting the content I want, I’m just not going there, but I know I’m missing things and want it to improve.
I feel the same. The content is absolutely limited right now. I’ve been switching back and forth for a few days, and the content is just better over on Reddit. Even if a lot of it is reposts, it’s still quality content that will draw in fresh eyes. I get in here and scroll through all filtered by hot, and very few posts are drawing me in.
I know it isn’t. Which is pretty much the reason for my question. If there isn’t a constamt stream of quality content, people will just stop coming here.
