to homeless gig slaves.

any alternatives?

when are they going to completely drop the lifetime license? they must at some point right?

Yes, if to keep it simple

After reddit did that mobile app stunt - I created a firefox addon to help reddit refugees move to lemmy:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-deep-lighthouse/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-deep-lighthouse/

I built this firefox addon to help people move from reddit: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-deep-lighthouse/

That is fair, and I agree the ghost-account/comment mirroring approach is bad.

This is intentionally narrower: it only posts through the user’s own Lemmy account, only for content they choose/configure, with review before publishing by default. It does not mirror commenters, create fake accounts, or copy discussions.

The goal is not to flood Lemmy, but to make it easier for people who already write useful posts on Reddit to start publishing them on Lemmy instead while also ensuring people that only comment at least can comment on some lemmy posts. sometimes lemmy communities are just dead - no content, no nothing. at least lets have content.

many people do. also most posts are reposts from reddit anyways. but I do understand if not all people will find this helpful.

I prefer organically sourced content. Yes, even if it’s people possibly saving stuff off reddit and reposting it here. I don’t need reddit in a shitty mass repack.

Im fully prepared to get negative feedback. That is ok - Im confident this is a good idea and a great solution.
this is completely ok if we dont see eye to eye - you are entitled to your opinion.

I honestly dont see much flooding. most subreddits either dont exist at all or have no content. this is primary reason people go back to reddit

If you setup multiple subreddit mappings it should work yes

Intent is to help make lemmy more popular.

Communities have different rules. It is what it is.

indeed… so no changes till next admin… ok - so no changes? might as well just dont even do it

oh this sucks man.

they are already losing AI race to china: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-04-27/why-china-s-deepseek-qwen-and-moonshot-are-a-worry-for-us-ai-rivals

why even make people suffer from high electric bills

People sell their steam accounts . Age don’t always mean much

I think public finally began to understand that they subsidize the DC electric bill. And that immediately makes it everyone’s issue.

Yeah I’m using that as we speak actually.
Qwen studio mobile app is free - I’m running 3.6 plus model it’s free.
Same with recent kimi, minimax, deepseek models are great - all these companies have mobile apps and coding agents I can pay and use today. https://qwen.ai/qwencode

Already it’s leaked that cursor’s composer 2.0 model is based on Kimi 2.5.

Anthropic/openai sky high valuations are based on a notion they will be that ones left standing and bunch of humans gonna be fired and companies gonna be paying ai rent. But that assumes little competition. What we are seeing is totally different - open models caught up, china actively selling it. US ai companies thus will never be able to just jack prices - as there is tons of competition.
