Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

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.
Every post I saw on lemmit was devoid of comments. With no OP and no other commenters, there was never a reason to see those posts in the first place and I blocked it.
It's not there to be interacted with. It's there to alert you of new posts. Like an RSS feed.
How would that even work with comments going back to Reddit? If you want to interact with Reddit just go to Reddit.
I just use lemmit to not miss news in niche communities.
At least it's a good attempt at showing Reddit users that they could move across and not loose anything, getting one user across at a time is the goal with this sort of thing wouldn't it?
A 2-way bridge would require reddit's participation. They have no incentive to do that, every move they've been making is in the opposite direction.
Reddit users didn't see any of it.
I did (and I hated it haha)
