All the content, none of the Spez? Or, is it better if Lemmy stays distinct?

    I think the community is much more important than just having more content. I would worry that by flooding Lemmy with Reddit’s content without the community to support that content could drown everyone out.

      Yeah I agree. I think being able to tweak a personalised scraper as an opt in service per community could work. Some subs just won’t work for this, like askreddit and Eli5, but niche communities, news communities and information communities. I would be happy just seeing the top 2 or 3 posts of the day for some, and for world news for example, only the posts that pass a certain threshold of upvotes in a certain time or against the subs size, to make sure the real news pops up quick.
