Most people didn't hate the content, they hated the sudden and rapid changes to reddit this month.

Have you just stayed out of your news sections on the Fediverse?

Also what is a Fediverse Community vs a Reddit Community to you?

The problem is that Reddit as it is now is a treasure trove of good comments by some very intelligent and knowledgeable people. You can find a good answers to most of questions by adding Reddit to the search on Google.

My understanding is that some users dislike reddit but very much like their specific small communities in it. They want to maintain the value of their community without relying on Reddit to host the content, so they are trying to migrate to places like the Fediverse. With that being said, I only support that for smaller subs with their own established community culture. Also, transition is hard so some people want a few familiar landmarks while navigating this new land.

Presumably because everyone else just wants reddit but less shit. If spez hadn't decided to go insane and tank the usability of the site, yeah, I'd still be there. Fact of the matter is that reddit still has a bunch of content I want to see, but doesn't exist over here.

Tbh I don't really care about the fediverse, I just wanted to find the communities that I lost and if I can have them in one place again, the better. It's not that I can't understand why would you want the fediverse for the fediverse, but I only learned about it to do what I came to do and didn't interest me beyond that.

I agree with that, however there is also some value to having the posts there. For example some local subreddits that I moderate I'd love to be able to kind of "mirror" the posts occuring on reddit as often times things being posted are events, local news, or local recommendation style things. I don't want to have to manually repost all the news articles that people post for example.

It would be kinda neat to see a browser extension that could integrate these Lemmy communities in a "cross-post" style manner like Reddit does. Allow you to view both reddit and lemmy discussions based on the link.

I think that's a fair concern, but it may be a good route for smaller communities to migrate and try and grow their communities.

World News is a big reddit community so I can imagine content flooding happening.

EDIT: Also this is happening only on Lemmit.online which is designed to be a Reddit mirror. So this makes some sense for people willing to try it out or wanting it separate from the active communities.

What's really nice is he has the reposts all coming from the same bot, so people who still want to keep one foot in the reddit door can have their cake, but those of us who are just totally done with reddit can just block a single bot. That way we dont get flooded with Reddit posts in /all. I really appreciate that setup, cause I just dont want to look at Reddit anywhere anymore. I've been suggesting lemmit.online anywhere I can, so that multiple people dont start doing it and it doesn't become too unruly to block it all. Being able to just block one bot is nice.

It's read only and it doesn't give you access to the original comments. But it works really well for stuff like news, images, etc... where the discussion is mostly not the important part.

A good idea is to create discussions on the lemmy side. What I would do is cross-post it or post it to native lemmy communities and then we can have the discussions there. For example, for news articles and stuff like that.

RSS isn't the API. On the other hand if this takes off, I'd suspect that they'll end that too.

They should. You need to search for it to make it available on your instance.
