Seems like a good portion of the activity in the communities is reddit oriented. If the goal is leaving/hurting reddit, it seems we should be continuing on like it doesn’t exist, instead of continuing to drive interest to the site. Thoughts?

    Having posted a lot of Reddit news, I was beginning to wonder that myself. But one of them got more than 700 upvotes (!!!) and my eyes sort of glazed over and I got upvote happy. So, potentially, yes, shame on me. On the other hand, there are a lot of folks here now who have invested a lot of blood, sweat, and tears over there, and are interested to know what’s going on, even if it happens to be going down in flames. So, depending on what people say here, I might well be persuaded to give it a rest. I think the most important thing, though, is that we have growing Lemmy/Beehaw communities which have become, and will hopefully stay, a really solid alternative to Reddit.
