If anything, shouldn’t it be encouraged, and even automated? I’m including even the ‘old’ stuff from reddit here. Reddit shouldn’t be the absolute owner of the content submitted by users. When I migrated here, it wasn’t because of me being against reddit users, but being against reddit the company. Copying the content here actually hurts the company in sense that they don’t get to then gatekeep the crowdsourced content.
Automatically copying content from reddit is killing user interaction. I don’t want to see thousands of shitty posts with zero comments and where OP isn’t even a human that could react so I don’t even have any intention of wringing comments
I have no problems with manually doing it though. Heck I myself do it. The difference is that I only repost what I seam to be worthy a repost.
It’s also important to remember too that while the vast majority of Lemmy users by far are Reddit migrants, just because you’ve seen something before doesn’t mean someone else has. Any bit of content can make someone part of the lucky 10000:
