@asklemmy@lemmy.world 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?

    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.

      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.

        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.

            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.

                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.

                  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.

                    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.

                    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.

                    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.
