Similar to the time Soviet Russia wanted to join the anti-Soviet alliance which was trying to pretend wasn’t made to plot against the soviets.

I meaaaan, while I did join Lemmy because I was sick of reddit the company’s greedy decisions, I do miss the amount of users and content it has/generates. If reddit joining the fediverse meant they couldn’t dictate what app I use to view their posts, I probably would enjoy being able to browse their content again.

You can kinda already do that, apps like rdx, Stealth, and Geddit pull reddit content without using the API. You can’t vote/comment, but you can still follow communities that have worthwhile content.

Same tbh idk if it’s the community or the app for me

OK, I’ll get stoned for saying this, but I’d welcome it if done properly.
It’s a large user base, lots of niche communities.
The more complicated part would be moderation, as that’s already a problem now. Also, resources may be a problem.

Add their instance to my block list

Same.

As long as it didn’t pollute the fedi timeline with ads, AI slop and partnered posts, that’d be OK to me… (If someone worrying about our posts/comments being used by AIs, it’s already happening even for those instances that does not federate with Threads; Proofs? Once I searched for my own username and I got surprised on how my fediverse posts are spread all across the results through federated instances that I never heard about, so if my fedi content shows on Google, it’s certainly being fed to some AI datasets)

people just dont understand how public the fediverse is.
- Nicht BurningTurtle ( @nichtburningturtle@feddit.org ) 16•27 days ago
The same way we dealt with threads. Defederation.
- MentalEdge ( @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ) 14•28 days ago
I’d be very down to be able to subscribe to a couple select subs back there.
But I’d also be a bit disappointed because several Reddit communities have fediverse versions that are just nicer to be in, and I’m not so sure they’d survive if people could just go interact with the reddit equivalents via federation.

Wdym, reddit already joined fediverse, it’s called lemmy.world.
- Alice ( @Alice@beehaw.org ) 12•27 days ago
I’ll be honest, I’d be happy. I know Reddit as a whole sucks, but there are individual communities that still hold value. I miss active communities for niche crafts, I miss fandoms, and I miss actual life-changing shit like trans DIY, especially for countries outside the US.
I mainly stopped using Reddit because they killed third-party apps. If I could access Reddit from here, that’d be a pretty sweet deal for me.
- themoken ( @themoken@startrek.website ) 2•27 days ago
I agree, as much as I hate Reddit’s leadership and a lot of the toxicity of the hivemind, it will be a long time before anything reaches the level of niche communities it has with a critical mass of users and I miss some of them.
Sometimes you just want to geek out about something small with the 40 people across the planet that actually care about it.
- originalucifer ( @originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com ) 10•28 days ago
it wont happen, that would basically be broadcasting reddit content to servers whose intention is to offer it up the public for free (no ads).
if we cant utilize their api without paying through the nose, there is zero chance theyll let activitypub do it for free.
- Rentlar ( @Rentlar@lemmy.ca ) 9•28 days ago
They can do what they want, but if they want my contribution, they play by our rules.
Free, public API to support 3rd party readers. None of this paid API extortion, ads, super upvote monetization nonsense. AI generated stupid discussion communities I will block on sight.
More vibrant and active niche communities I will be happy to receive but I do like things as they stand too.

That’s the same as asking how we would feel if Facebook decided to join the fediverse. The way instances reacted to that, would be the way they’d react to reddit, or twitter, or any of the enshitified tech giants.
- Count Regal Inkwell ( @VinesNFluff@pawb.social ) 8•26 days ago
Would be among the first to suggest a reddit-defederation pact to be honest.
Kinda like how peeps on Mastodon/Misskey/etc. have their anti-threads pact.
- AntiOutsideAktion ( @AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml ) English8•28 days ago
lemmy.world is already federated
