@[email protected] Would you like a Reddit Bridge?
We already have a Twitter Bridge for Mastodon and an Instagram Bridge is being worked on by the same .makeup team / person.
Would you like to see Reddit Bridged / Mirrored so you could see the posts you’ve been ‘missing’ off here?
lemmit.online already mirrors Reddit subs and posts.
There were attempts to mirror comments as well but that was awful. It looked like there was a lot of Lemmy activity but it couldn’t mirror people’s answers back so you were just shouting into a void. And it drowned out all the real discussions because of course the Reddit stuff had a lot more activity.
Every post I saw on lemmit was devoid of comments. With no OP and no other commenters, there was never a reason to see those posts in the first place and I blocked it.
It’s not there to be interacted with. It’s there to alert you of new posts. Like an RSS feed.
How would that even work with comments going back to Reddit? If you want to interact with Reddit just go to Reddit.
I just use lemmit to not miss news in niche communities.
At least it’s a good attempt at showing Reddit users that they could move across and not loose anything, getting one user across at a time is the goal with this sort of thing wouldn’t it?
Reddit users didn’t see any of it.
I did (and I hated it haha)
A 2-way bridge would require reddit’s participation. They have no incentive to do that, every move they’ve been making is in the opposite direction.
I’m talking about more of a mirror than a bridge.
Then reddit users wouldn’t see it so it would do nothing to draw them to Lemmy.
