Accepting that is counterproductive to making Lemmy a worthwhile space that will continue existing though.
Keeping people around requires being more than just “not reddit”. It requires Lemmy to be a community of people that actually create value in and of themselves. Until they reject just being a secondary reddit and be lemmy the space will not mature and come into its own. It will remain a space that just takes content from reddit and rehosts it, one that follows rather than leads.
It really sucks that we are still detatching. however, people are moving things off of reddit rather than meerly reposting (copying) things, only the creators and mods have that ability.
For the question of why are we linking to reddit so mutch, it is a unique culture that cares about ravishing reddit. After that I dont know where we will be.
My favoite subreddit in theory was tiny but still somhow full of corperate scam artists selling to those at the intersection of sex and sad. Neither of which are the point the sub. the corrisponding lemmy community is free of that BS, the people are way happier. but it only has 5 members, 6 interactions a month.
