Since our front page has about a 60% parity with theirs (don’t think I didn’t notice!) it may be good to offer some life rafts.
On the other hand, there is a lot of reddit brain over there. A lot would flip out over no downvotes or not being allowed to say certain slurs.
Sometimes I source memes from tumblr, just to add a little more variety but its a bit of a pain.
I heard once that facebook ate up MySpace users by having new FB users give them their MySpace log in credentials, then Facebook would scrape their myspace follows and display new MySpace posts on the user’s facebook feed.
I think hexbear (and really, more the fediverse overall) could learn from that. Like, if there was a “submit reblog” button where I could drop a URL from tumblr (or I guess even ecks the everything app) and it converts the links and images and text into a lemmy post, that would be really useful in dragging the overall lemmy culture away from its reddit origins
