@asklemmy@lemmy.world Would you like a Reddit Bridge?
We already have a Twitter Bridge for Mastodon and an Instagram Bridge is being worked on by the same .makeup team / person.
Would you like to see Reddit Bridged / Mirrored so you could see the posts you’ve been ‘missing’ off here?
fuck no
I quit reddit for a reason
I thought most people moved from Reddit due to the way the platform was managed with AI stuff and the API
Those things had a cascade effect.
API change > 3rd party tools moderators depended on no longer functioned > mods quit because they could no longer manage the subs effectively > the one sub I spent most of my reddit time on is now unrecognizable, filled with alt-right nut bars, 3/4 of which I assume are bots.
I don’t want a bridge because reddit today is not at all the reddit I used to get some entertainment from. Or I guess go ahead with a bridge, I’ll just block it and go about my merry way.
lemmit.online already mirrors Reddit subs and posts.
There were attempts to mirror comments as well but that was awful. It looked like there was a lot of Lemmy activity but it couldn’t mirror people’s answers back so you were just shouting into a void. And it drowned out all the real discussions because of course the Reddit stuff had a lot more activity.
Every post I saw on lemmit was devoid of comments. With no OP and no other commenters, there was never a reason to see those posts in the first place and I blocked it.
At least it’s a good attempt at showing Reddit users that they could move across and not loose anything, getting one user across at a time is the goal with this sort of thing wouldn’t it?
I don’t want to contribute over there. I want them to collapse under the weight of all the AI slop there. I prefer mastodon but at least the bridge to blue sky there isn’t supporting for-profit, ad-driven, ai driven dreck.
But there’s a lot of bad AI content in there. Why bring in the shit that drives people away?
If you want reddit content on lemmy, go get it and post it yourself. Get the good shit that drives engagement, not the putrid slop that will make people block the posting account or sub entirely.
So what is stopping a one-way bridge? Reddit content here but no content back?
If the content was interesting to the users here, it’d be posted by someone who noticed it elsewhere.
I’m much more of a fan of organic engagement here rather than bots reposting content from other sites
Yeah, I have reddits I use for my local area and I’d love if I could have them bridged so I can at least see the updates and it might make a few of my locals move over here instead of reddit in the long run as they wouldn’t miss out on anything, if anything they miss less over here.
I’d rather chop my own dick off, roll it in flour, eggs and bread crumbs, deep fry my dick and eat it with sour cream and sweet chili sauce than have a Reddit bridge.
Or you could just block the bridge… Like I understand wanting to chop your own dick off but for a simple thing you could block… come on.
You asked if I wanted one, I gave you my answer.
We left Reddit because we didn’t want to be part of it, we don’t want it here.
How do we get those more valuable users across then? Those that want to post quality non-AI gen content
No thanks.
