I would like to make a community dedicated to posting interesting science questions that have been asked and answered in other sites.
The post would be a copy of the question and the comments would be copies of the answers that were found to be interesting - always with the username attribution and the link to the original post.
With this format, users would not need to leave the site, and it is easy to discuss the answers directly in the comments.
But I have my doubts about whether this is appropriate, as I think that it might be copyright infringement.
So, what do people in Lemmy think? Would this format be blatant theft and wrong? Perfectly reasonable? Somewhere in between?
I think it is perfectly fine. A lot of the internet revolves around copying and sharing things several times over (moldy memes are a great example of that). I say go for it. It’ll do nothing but bring more scientific knowledge to Lemmy
