Seeing low activity here, I was thinking of creating a bot which can bring content from /r/india. Here’s what I have in mind:
- Every hour, post top 30 posts from /r/india to /c/india
- Also cross-post comments from all the posts we cross-post i.e if someone posts a comment on reddit, post it here; and if someone responds to a comment here, re-post it on appropriate thread in reddit
What do guys think? Is it a good idea? In my mind it can help break content monopoly of reddit.
Lemmurs want Lemmy to not become another reddit with redditor like user behaviour and low quality or duplicate posting.
That sounds impractical. What else do you consider behavior-to-avoid, other than low quality and reposts? Do lemmy has anything in built to avoid reposts, or low quality posts? Goals on lemmy.ml don’t mention this. Is this something you personally want, or are these !india@lemmy.ml goals?
I hope I am not coming off as argumentative/offensive. I am genuinely curious.
You can ask any old Lemmy user and they will share the same views as I said. You seem to be a day old user.
I agree. Early Lemmy, while not particularly active, had a lot of good posts and the community was incredibly kind and developed good discussions in the comments. That quality and community is still present, of course, but as we’ve grown, I’ve already seen elements of Reddit creeping in: low quality nonsense comments, an increasing amount of liberals and reactionaries, techno-chauvinists who separate technology from politics, etc. I want Lemmy to grow, but not at the expense of it’s idiosyncrasies that separated it from Reddit.
I personally do not think all liberals are bad (I am not one now) but the rest are surely bad elements. More accurately, you would say corrupt leftist liberals.
So many elements of reddit can be identifiable to any vigilant folk easily, that are parasites and plagues worse than this COVID. Moreso, considering how reddit replaced the entire forum and internet board culture.
