    As for the content, nothing is stopping individuals from removing or exporting their comments. There are automated tools that will do this for you with very little effort.

    I’ve been thinking about this. Shouldn’t we be copying rising posts from Reddit to their respective communities on Lemmy? It would help bridge the content gap while the userbase is still growing, and it’s all public information.

      It is a mixed bag. This can be useful in some cases, but it can also be very inorganic. There are tons of accounts on Mastodon which mirror content from Twitter. They might even be run by the Twitter user themselves, but if there is no interaction and the user doesn’t even check them, they just end up becoming noise.

      Not all of them, since that would be a lot of server load, especially for the more image-heavy content. Maybe only the big/official posts, but people would be cross-linking those anyway.

      I see where you are coming from, but personally I think we should just focus on building something new.
