Whilst Lemmy is growing and trying to compete in content against the goliath that is reddit it needs to be reposted so to speak. I’m not about taking original or potentially original posts and claiming them as my own so it’s good practice to source the location of the original.
We are competing with a platform that has existed since 2005, it’s no easy task. You may find posts that are original posts. Just again best practice. Source the original.
To get people you need content and to get content you need people. Work takes priority over scouring my local town for unique content. Shit just doesn’t work like that
I have produced plenty of OP here too as well as reposts. This is just the nature of the internet nowadays, if they aren’t entertained they leave
Just credit the reddit user, that’s all you need. If anyone really cares they can go to reddit and look at their profile. That way you can still give credit where credit is due, and not increase reddit foot traffic.
In fairness, I have just been doing this when mildly infuriating was born (5 days ago) and I want to ensure I am doing enough in terms of respecting the original poster. It is a good suggestion though.
I guess a template of “Repost from [username] on [insert website]” would do fine."
Good comment!
I like how so far it seems people here are less aggressive and more willing to work together towards a goal that satisfies both parties rather than have a big dick swinging contest and get nowhere. Good job Lemmy.
Why link to reddit?

Wait, so we’re just reposting reddit posts on here? I’m not sure I understand the point of that.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate you trying to give credit in the best way you can think of.

I only participate in little dick swinging contests, because I can win those
I can’t. :(
might as well steal some bandwidth
