I would not be interested, personally. Either you're like me, and still pop over to Reddit as long as certain subs have something to offer, or you're like most of the rest here and specifically wanted away from Reddit entirely. For either use case, I don't really see the value-add in clogging up Lemmy with Reddit noise. I graze over there, trying not to be too ideological about it but accepting it's on a downward trend and that meaningful interaction is limited, but I actually engage with people here.

I don't know, I burned that bridge for a reason, mainly Spez and the whole API debacle (RIP Reddit is Fun). I also don't want to contribute to sending traffic to Reddit nor pulling posts from it.
I also don't use X nor Instagram. If Lemmy becomes like that, I'm gonna make like a tree and fuck off.
It wouldn't put things into Reddit but would only pull from it. But understandable if you wouldn't want to touch it, Doesn't it make sense to let each user on the Fediverse to choose that?

No thanks.
.world is the reddit bridge
I would for more niche stuff, but I’m guessing my instance would defederate from it.
60% of the posts I see link me to reddit anyways
I don’t want to contribute over there. I want them to collapse under the weight of all the AI slop there. I prefer mastodon but at least the bridge to blue sky there isn’t supporting for-profit, ad-driven, ai driven dreck.
So what is stopping a one-way bridge? Reddit content here but no content back?
If the content was interesting to the users here, it’d be posted by someone who noticed it elsewhere.
I’m much more of a fan of organic engagement here rather than bots reposting content from other sites
Yeah, I have reddits I use for my local area and I'd love if I could have them bridged so I can at least see the updates and it might make a few of my locals move over here instead of reddit in the long run as they wouldn't miss out on anything, if anything they miss less over here.

fuck no
I quit reddit for a reason
I thought most people moved from Reddit due to the way the platform was managed with AI stuff and the API
admins, monetization, AI moderators (I got banned for telling people NOT to use "gay" as an insult), advertisements, privacy rights violations, and spez.
if I can read the content without all that ^ shit, then I'm all for it. leech their content, give them nothing.

lemmit.online already mirrors Reddit subs and posts.
There were attempts to mirror comments as well but that was awful. It looked like there was a lot of Lemmy activity but it couldn't mirror people's answers back so you were just shouting into a void. And it drowned out all the real discussions because of course the Reddit stuff had a lot more activity.

A two way bridge - yes
What is a bridge?
There are, or there used to be, comms that just regurgitated reddit posts. They didn't last very long.
A bridge in this case is just a easy way to automate a fake instance that will have the Reddit content from subreddits to be transfered across to Lemmy and other Forum based Fediverse Instance.
So instead of people manually doing it, it will be mostly automated (Apart from having to follow the instance community first like any other lemmy instance)
If it didn't do two-way bridging of comments I wouldn't really see much point.
And Reddit would ban any accounts used for that pretty quickly.
It would be most likely a one way system but most reddit users seem to not want to move across as they think they will miss something (what I understand with things like local communities).
It takes sense in someways for smaller communities to be bridged to allow those users to move across and not miss anything.

Yeah, there have been a few bot comms that did that.
No one here is ever a part of the conversation, that's the problem that it always comes to. OP isn't going to respond to any comments or care at all about the post.
I think it would be good to have a proper talk with the Lemmy community if someone was to create this project again as it would make sense as you lot will be the ones that 'gain' from it more than Mastodon or Misskey users.
Isn't that what we're doing? I'm just saying what's happened before. Personally I say do any experiment you'd like to. If it works thats great. If not, oh well.
Someone else said if it's a two way bridge then yes. I think that'd be interesting.
I'd subscribe to a lemmy community that was bridged. would it behave similar to a bot, that feeds information from reddit to lemmy?
