@lemmy.world Would you like a Reddit Bridge? (bikersgo.social)

@[email protected] Would you like a Reddit Bridge?

We already have a Twitter Bridge for Mastodon and an Instagram Bridge is being worked on by the same .makeup team / person.

Would you like to see Reddit Bridged / Mirrored so you could see the posts you've been 'missing' off here?

Short answer: No

Long answer: Fuck nooooooooooooooo

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

No, I came here to get away from that shit hole.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No. Go to:

lemmit.online
zerobytes.monster

We keep them separate for a reason. These posts get zero engagement and just litter the place. Almost no one likes them.

Plus we already have Reddit. Everyone wanting to read Reddit posts can just go there. And that even allows you to interact with the posts. The bridges here don't even show the comments. And if you engage with the discussion, you just waste your time because that doesn't appear on Reddit. Maybe enhance the bridge first, have it do comments as well and be both directions. We can talk after that.

But please don't turn this place into a bot dumpster. We're trying to have a good time here.

I'd rather chop my own dick off, roll it in flour, eggs and bread crumbs, deep fry my dick and eat it with sour cream and sweet chili sauce than have a Reddit bridge.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Great, now I'm hungry for a battered sav

[+] [email protected] -14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Or you could just block the bridge.... Like I understand wanting to chop your own dick off but for a simple thing you could block.... come on.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

You asked if I wanted one, I gave you my answer.

We left Reddit because we didn't want to be part of it, we don't want it here.

[+] [email protected] -9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

How do we get those more valuable users across then? Those that want to post quality non-AI gen content

I don't know, it's not something I actively think about, I like how Lemmy is atm, I like being able to have a civil discussion or be able to post something without angry people being angry, I know some live here, but they're way more tolerable than over there.

Just let it grow organically.

[+] [email protected] -14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

How is something meant to grow organically with no advertisement?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

bruh..

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A bridge isn't exactly advertising tho, advertising would be telling Reddit users about Lemmy, linking posts from Lemmy to Reddit, or talking about Lemmy there in general, a bridge is just gonna make Lemmy worse in my opinion. Like I said, we came here because we didn't like Reddit.

Word of mouth is by far the best way to advertise Lemmy.

[+] [email protected] -7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Word of mouth is great if people genuinely talk about it, like I do my best to talk about these sorts of software but it has just turned to 'Here we go again' more than 'Yeah I want to join'. Any new people I talk to about it just seem not interested.

In the wild I've never really met anyone that is trying to advertise anything like this, so we might need a little more than just word of mouth.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You're never going to convince them all that Lemmy is better, because it might not be better for them.

Lemmy is better than Reddit for me but I have a mate who didn't enjoy it as much.

Lemmy will get some of the Reddit users, some will go to one of the others and the rest will stay put.

I'm constantly seeing new users who have jumped over here, so it's going good,l I think.

We are a subset of a subset of internet users, you rarely heard people in the wild advertising Reddit either.

Lemmy is fine and will continue to grow in its natural way.

Not to go full 'Eternal September', but I would almost argue that around the time reddit was talked about on more mainstream platforms is around the time that reddit started going down hill. Subs started getting harder to keep on track and moderation began going off the rails.

On the plus side, shit like "le narwal bacons at midnight" started to die off too, so it wasn't all bad I guess.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

No.

Follow up question: if such a bridge did exist, how would one go about blocking it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can we build a bridge a burn it down when they are coming across?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Link to the instagram bridge project?
