if you want Reddit content, go to Reddit.

This makes zero sense. “Reddit content” is not exclusive to Reddit, and the people who came to Lemmy are not looking for alternative “content”, they are looking for an alternative, non-corporate controlled platform. Telling people to go to Reddit plays exactly to their game.

You are missing my point, but I also wasn’t clear enough. In proper context, we are saying the same thing.

I worded that sentence carefully, as to your point, I don’t actually want to tell people to go to Reddit. However, each platform is unique in its own way. If someone wants the Reddit experience, that is the only place they are going to find it. Reddit content is generally curated algorithmically while Lemmy content is not. It’s could be the same articles on the same day, but two different experiences.

OP was referring to reposting content for someone who seemed to be looking for the same volume of content that is on Reddit that is heavily sorted, unless I missed something. I was just saying that this platform doesn’t really support that kind of thing in a constructive way. The articles and the presentation combined make the platform “content”.

  Maybe we are talking about the same thing, but I think we are talking about different parts of the elephant.
  
  To me, the interesting part of Reddit was not in the popular communities, but in the tail end of niches. These simply do not exist in Lemmy, because we do not have the critical mass to sustain discussion about anything else other than politics, and this meta-conversation about Lemmy/Fediverse.
  
  So, yeah, I agree that reposting about things that are popular in Reddit make no sense, but if we want to get rid of Reddit, then we will need to duplicate the volume of content they have in the niche communities to get over the chicken-and-egg problem.

  Lol I love it when people say “youre missing my point”. It generally means the point was addressed and there’s no further discussion.
  
  Plus you get what I said wrong. I never implied I wanted the same volume of content as reddit, in fact I said “small scale” and “minimal activity”
  
  Y’all got your brain work and make up your own reality

    You can interpret anything how you choose, kind of like we have to do with your grammar.

    Sounds like my Grammar was fine since you need need to compromise
