Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

You may want to look into the lemmit.online instance, it mirrors reddit content here and may already mirror the comms you’re looking for. Like another commenter said tho, many people have defederated or blocked it because a lot of us use the fediverse rather than reddit for a reason - so don’t be too surprised if you get a similar response.
I’m also not a fan of just mirroring reddit, but BAPC sales is one of the very few types of subreddit I can see being useful to mirror since it basically exists to be an rss feed and comments don’t provide as much value as usual. If you focus on comms like that maybe your instance would be less likely to be blocked?
Registrations are closed
the plan is - siphon reddit content until lemmy community is big enough where it does not need that.
rigggghhhttt!??!!?? their slogal is literally stolen from subreddit. wth
People have attempted this before. Like others have said, it didn’t really go well and a lot of people blocked those communities or have entire instances defederate from them. I think it was lemmynsfw (RIP) that thrived with mirrored content because, well, porn.
I’m still subscribed to communities that post via rss bots, but it’s for specific topics (i.e. tech, hackernews), not general content.
But hey, the beauty of the fediverse is you can do whatever you want on your own instance, so feel free to do it. Don’t be suprised though if not a lot of instances will choose to federate with you.
Why don't you use post on Lemmy? Reddit didn't have a lot of users either it started naturally.
Maybe post the links on reddit back to your instance on Lemmy and start getting engagement.
Reddit is bot and shit head garbage now. Nobody wants the majority of reddit here.
look - its ok. we dont need to argue. lets agree to disagree.
I will create my own instance
