Similar to the time Soviet Russia wanted to join the anti-Soviet alliance which was trying to pretend wasn’t made to plot against the soviets.

    So I’d get reddit content without having to deal with reddit’s nonsense layout and terrible app? That sounds kinda nice actually.

      Which makes me think they won’t do that, at least until they realize their current plan won’t work out in the long run. So far they’ve been going in the opposite direction by locking down everything:

      • killing off third party apps
      • making it difficult to access on old Reddit or mobile web
      • only letting search engines index the site if they pay
      • talk of paywalling subreddits

      I mean you’re already getting Reddit content, Lemmy is basically just Reddit reposted.

        Not when you block that reposting bot. Every once in a while I’ll see something that’s a screenshot from reddit, but that’s fine. We can get content from all over. Reddit used to get 9gag screenshots and commenters would throw up in their mouths a little over that.

          I’m not talking about a bot. Just scroll around and then go to Reddit for a while. Same exact content.

        All the downvotes but literally every post here I see is on Reddit hours or days beforehand.

            A) literally means figuratively. Go grab a dictionary and check yourself.

            B) Was I complaining about Reddit? If anything, I’m complaining about the fact that Lemmy is much smaller and often delayed in getting me news about current events

              If you can’t miss hours in the 24 hours social media cycle, you should probably cut back your exposure my dude.

          It’s because people don’t understand that Lemmy.World specifically serves as a Reddit replacement, but other communities don’t serve this purpose.

          It demonstrates the misunderstanding that Lemmy.World is Lemmy.
