I don't get this logic. I don't go to Reddit anymore so I don't see the content unless someone reposts it here. I'm happy people are posting here, either way.

The tweet itself is from June of 2022. I know from my bot-hunting at the time that it was posted to Reddit within days of being tweeted, and that there were bots reposting it prior to the API changes less than a year ago. If you were browsing Reddit (or Twitter) at the time, then you may have seen it then.

I wouldn’t have minded seeing it shared here if there was not already a pattern of posts being copy+pasted from the top of the Lego subreddit for a given day. If the Lemmy OP had posted this two days ago or if they had posted it a month from today, I wouldn’t have associated the post with the Reddit post from yesterday. It’s that the content is being “farmed” in a way which bothers me. The case of this Lemmy post is made worse by the sourced Reddit post being made by a repost bot, which is exactly what I wanted to escape from by leaving Reddit.

I was browsing Reddit at the time, but I never saw the post. I don't see literally every post on the internet when I'm browsing.

Feel free to post your own content, seems more constructive

This post really implies you haven't left reddit and you're complaining because you see the same content posted on both.

This place is slow as fuck and you wanna bitch about the tiny bit of content we DO get?
