Springtime

Personally I think, it should be generally ok to rip content of Reddit, but it should happen manually rather than via a bot.

• Not everything that makes it to the top of a subreddit is quality content.
• By manually picking and choosing what to repost here, it would give more control to the users of c/Vancouver on how to mold and grow their own community instead of just replicating what's over there.

We have the chance to create something new and distinct here in its vibe. A bot might hinder that.

My heart goes out to you, your parents and all other residential school survivors. No child, no parent, no people should have had to endure such trauma.

I hope, one day families who still suffer from this generational trauma can break through the horror of their and their ancestor's experience and are able to stop their suffering and thrive instead.

Thank you for your explanation. This makes it much clearer for me :)

On a separate note, because, I just notice this in my comment:

Are there plans by you and lemmy.world to increase synchronization?

I've noticed just typing lemmy.ca and lemmy.ml turn into an automatic link, while typing lemmy.world doesn't.

I've also noticed, the sync between these two instances (lemmy.ca and lemmy.world) is lagging or problematic when looking for communities on the other instance or trying to post from within one one instance to the other. Sometimes my lemmy.ca account doesn't let me post or comment to lemmy.world and vice versa and I have to switch accounts.

Hi smorks, Thank you for lemmy.ca

I'm still a bit confused by your above comment.

To clarify:

So, if I'm logged into my lemmy.ca account and would create a post with a picture on a different instance, e.g. lemmy.ml or Lemmy.world , it would be against the rules of lemmy.ca?

And vice versa, if someone with an account on an instance that is known for banning criticism of certain governments, if they were to post such a post on lemmy.ca or lemmy.world , would still break the rules of their home instance and risk being banned there for something they've posted on a different instance that doesn't have that rule?

Does that mean, I would need a second account on a different instance that doesn't have this/these particular rules when posting such content?

Thank you 🙂

Hi There,

Yet another reddit refugee from Canada's West Coast. I've been in reddit for 15 years, mostly as a lurker with intermittent contributions (mostly comments in discussion threads). I used to use old.reddit, so would not have been affected (yet) by the announced API changes directly, but I am disappointed in the most recent behaviour of the admins over there and their disregard for the communities at large and the countless contributions of volunteer moderators, developers and content contributors that helped reddit to grow to what it is today.

I'm looking forward to explore Lemmy and Tildes and enjoy the reddit feel of the earlier days.
