Why are we copying over so much Reddit content? (lemmy.world)

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?

When googling information i usually end the search with “reddit” as Reddit makes it harder to view without signing in to the app i want to be able to google with the word lemmy instead so having the information here is helpful

    @nxlemmy
    Only difference here is maybe some posts don't originate on an instance with the word Lemmy in it. It could be kbin or feddit or beehaw, etc.

    We gotta find out whatever the best search term would be for the Fediverse.
