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.

Fuck Reddit. It's shit, full of crap memes, terrible conversation and fucking wierdos. You'll get jumped for anything you say. Leave Reddit on Reddit. What's the point of this becoming an extension.

I mean, I miss being able to talk about the show I listen to, with fans of the show. There are no Bonfire listeners here and I can promise you there probably won't be any other than me. Their fanbase isn't nerds, its normies. They didn't understand the API stuff that happened on reddit. They're just there cause that's the easiest place to talk about the show.

on Lemmy, its a great atmosphere and I don't miss the reddit behavior.. but there are less communities here for my hobbies and interests.

Fair point. Whenever I scroll through it , all I see is trans this and USA that, and crappy memes made by 12 year olds that just aren't funny. There's a few communities I used to check occasionally but since they all went private, I can t read them since I never had an account.

Oof yeah. I do not miss talking to someone on reddit only to realize it's some fucking 14 year old kid and he's trolling on reddit in the middle of class.

I think it’s kind of the same thing as Reddit users scoffing at people posting content from 9Gag (is that still a thing?) or iFunny

imho it's fine to copy it here but i'd prefer if you scrubbed all references to its origin including usernames.

Because it's basically saying that you're so dull or lazy or unimaginative that you can't even manage to come up with a post of your own, and so pathetic and needy that you're just going to copy someone else's.
