By “here” I mean all of the Fediverse, but more specifically sh.itjust.works; I don’t want to cause any bad vibes in my new home instance.

I don’t NORMALLY post, and I’m limiting my access to Reddit in favor of Lemmy, but if stealing from the rich is acceptable, I’m happy to occasionally Robin Hood content over; I just prefer my theft to be within prevailing ethical guidelines.

Thanks!

I see nothing unethical about it. Reddit is mainly a link aggregator which means most of the content is not actually hosted by them. In these cases Reddit merely posts links to sites that host said content, and they usually credit the original creators if it’s not apparent from the post itself. I see nothing wrong with crossposting from Reddit as long as you also include the username of the poster if it’s a text post, or using the same source citations as they do.

Edit: others have pointed out using archive.org. I’d recommend that as well.
