Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)

I’ll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

    Noob question perhaps, but why is there a separate instance that does this instead of communities doing this one on one? For example, Lemmy/c/nba could auto-replicate new posts from Reddit/r/nba, no?

      The issues remain.

      Most of the posts on Reddit nowadays are low quality and/or rage baiting. Most of the users don’t want those replicated.

      And if the questions are replicated, the person asking the question will never see the comments.

      Most instances wouldn’t want a reddit bot using up their resources, so it would be best for them to have their own separate instance.
