Why are we copying over so much Reddit content?

3 years ago by AFK BRB Chocolate to c/reddit

I think it's great that so many people want to build and grow Lemmy, but why are we doing it by copying over Reddit content? It didn't seem as bad when it was funny pics or memes or whatever, but now I'm seeing discussion threads, which doesn't make sense to me.

I can kind of see it if a Reddit mod decides to move their forum from there to here, and wants to start with their existing content, but otherwise I'm not sure this is a good thing.

What do you guys think?

Reddit didn;t invent conversation. some of my favorite subreddits were niche for podcasts that I like, and those buttholes are still live. whatever
