MODERATORS
The author of Fediverser says that eventually it will be a 2-way crossposter between reddit and Lemmy, but I don't see the use in that - so it makes lemmy into reddit? Or like the entire site into a 3rd party reddit app, which reddit doesn't want and would never tolerate? For now I was like okay, it sounded like the posts were from people who explicitly signed up, but then it seems that no, they automatically make accounts for posts on subs they're duplicating which is like, what?? The people on reddit don't even know that their posts are being duplicated to lemmy, so how does that help?
The theory is the redditors can claim the bot that was created to ease onboarding.
Whether that has ever happened I can't say.
It hasn't and the project seems abandoned.

Awesome, thanks.
Do bridges make Matrix into Discord, Telegram, Signal, Whatsapp, *gasp* Slack, FB Messenger, imessage, Mattermost, Mumble, *gasp* Google Chat, Instagram, Linkedin, xitter, Skype, SMTP, IRC, KakaoTalk, *heavy gasp* GroupMe, Line, Wechat, Tencent QQ and Jabber/XMPP? Phew. Or does it make entire federation into a 3rd party *insert list again* app, which *insert list except Signal, SMTP and IRC one more time* don't want and would never tolerate?
