Hey folks -
It’s no secret that I created this community to replace the shittyfoodporn sized hole that was in my heart when I migrated from reddit to Lemmy. We’ll probably never be as big or active as they are, and that’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with being a small community and I certainly don’t want to mod like 2 million people.
I’ve been popping my head into reddit every now and then to check on the drama and I noticed that /r/shittyfoodporn has un-privated itself.
So my question to this community: would you like to see some content from reddit reposted here (for example, some of the top posts on /r/shittyfoodporn) to increase the amount of content in /c/shittyfoodporn or would you rather that we take a slower and more organic approach to things and only showcase the food of our members here on Lemmy?
I’ll sticky this post for a while. Feel free to use the upvote/downvote as a makeshift polling option (upvote = yes reddit content, downvote = only Lemmy content) or just drop a comment in this thread.
Personally I would have no qualms with people scraping all of Reddit and rehoming the content. Anything to make Reddit irrelevant more quickly is always morally correct
Agreed
I’m also in the ‘no harm, please do’ camp.
Quite simply, cross-posting from Reddit in the only way I’ll see content that starts out there, since I don’t trust intend to go back.
