@asklemmy@lemmy.world 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?

    I don’t know, I burned that bridge for a reason, mainly Spez and the whole API debacle (RIP Reddit is Fun). I also don’t want to contribute to sending traffic to Reddit nor pulling posts from it.

    I also don’t use X nor Instagram. If Lemmy becomes like that, I’m gonna make like a tree and fuck off.

      It wouldn’t put things into Reddit but would only pull from it. But understandable if you wouldn’t want to touch it, Doesn’t it make sense to let each user on the Fediverse to choose that?

        There are already two projects that mirror/bridge Reddit posts to Lemmy. Unsurprisingly, they have very little interaction right now. I’ve subscribed to some, and even I don’t interact with those myself. Not because I hate it though, but because I find no reason to.

          But like checking reddit every two seconds as people are linking it doesn’t make sense does it?

            Maybe it just sounds like you’re advocating for Reddit posts because your Lemmy feed isn’t congested with trash. And, who’s checking reddit every two seconds? Not this cookie.

            Also, on a personal level, I found most of the trans communities on Reddit cringeworthy and deplorable. It’s a major factor why I left. I find people here more intelligent and open-minded, regardless of the lack of content.
