UPDATE: What it seems like the general opinion in response to this post is that we allow Reddit content to be posted here but it must be complete and not require a jump to Reddit to get the full story. I propose allowing Reddit posts but not requiring attribution, and if you want to link to the original, do it in a comment for those that want it but not in the post body. If that is objectionable, we can work on the rule more. I am going to make this change today but it's not immutable if you guys don't like the outcome. I'll leave this post pinned for a couple more days to facilitate any further discussion.

Hey guys, Rule 8 of this community calls out that it is okay to repost from Reddit (this rule preexisted my tenure here), but it seems to be pissing a lot of you off (and I get it too). Since it's in the rules right now I can't remove the posts so I am going to leave this post up for a few days to find out if you guys want to change rule 8 to prohibit reposting from Reddit. Personally I hate Reddit, but at the end of the day this community belongs to all of us. Let me know what you want to do and we'll go with the community consensus.

Unless that repost is from the original poster on Reddit than I think it's annoying. Why should I comment on a post when the OP isn't even here to participate?

When it comes to this community, I don't feel like reddit reposts are appropriate in most cases. If it's the same user posting on both reddit and lemmy, then it's fine

I think images/meme level stuff is fine. As long as it's resharing something that is resonating rather than just reposting. i.e. posting the image or video directly rather than linking to Reddit. And as others mentioned, a text story is likely to be inappropriate, unless we do the whole screenshot other social media site trend which is fine imo

I don't mind people moving content from Reddit to the threadiverse. I do mind posting titles that claim authorship of a post when you are reposting someone else's content. I am mildly opposed to including links to the original reddit post when reposting from reddit, but I wouldn't ask a mod to enforce that preference cuz you've got stuff to do. Just my two cents; it's whatever the community wants and you're willing to do.

I don't have a problem with a meme repost from time to time. But this is !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world, people post things that annoy them and typically users engage with the post, ask questions, be angry together etc. If it is reddit repost we are engaging with the void. It is similar to reposting personal things such as AITA, relationship advice or whatever the fuck it is now called on Reddit.

This is my biggest complaint witn it. I subbed to some of these communities when I first joined lemmy but quickly realized that there was no point in reading these discussions because I couldn't participate on the reddit side and nobody was commenting on the lemmy side, so why even bother?

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Reposting a picture? No problem.
Reposting text from or just a link to a reddit post? That's weird, don't do that.

What's wrong with draining reddit content and increasing lemmy user share?

Wanna hurt pigboy - content drain is the way

Why would anny lemmyist be against that? It's almost like some of people complaining are reddit plants.
