should we be discussing reddit less? (beehaw.org)

Seems like a good portion of the activity in the communities is reddit oriented. If the goal is leaving/hurting reddit, it seems we should be continuing on like it doesn't exist, instead of continuing to drive interest to the site. Thoughts?

I feel the vast majority of new people joining these federated sites are coming from Reddit, so having the discourse centered around getting them in, explaining how things work and so on is pretty important for user adoption.

I know there's an underlying feeling that these redditors are all going to flood the place but the more people using these sites and the more engagement can only be a positive
