I think it’s great that so many people want to build and grow Lemmy, but why are we doing it by copying over Reddit content? It didn’t seem as bad when it was funny pics or memes or whatever, but now I’m seeing discussion threads, which doesn’t make sense to me.

I can kind of see it if a Reddit mod decides to move their forum from there to here, and wants to start with their existing content, but otherwise I’m not sure this is a good thing.

What do you guys think?

    I think I have a bit of a bias against trying to make Lemmy a copy of Reddit, but I also feel like it doesn’t make sense to copy old discussion threads. Someone asked a question on Reddit and got an answer. We don’t need that duplicated here, in my opinion.

    Again, i think a mod relocating their community is a different situation.
