Comment on Lemmy instances that are focused on mirroring Reddit content?
atrielienz@lemmy.world 8 months agoRight. But what I am saying is that even if I turned the setting off and was seeing the bots how would I only see the bits and pieces I wanted from reddit and not the whole of the reddit website mirrored?

You are never going to see all of reddit mirrored. Please read the description again. There is already a mechanism that lets admins create a mapping between specific subreddits and Lemmy communities, and only those subreddits gets pulled.

So, correct me if I’m wrong. But does that mean there has to be a Lemmy community that is synchronous to the subreddit in order to be mirrored?

Exactly. The main purpose is to help bootstrap the niche communities here who still don’t have enough people to make it sustainable by bringing the content and eventually the redditors as well.

Does this include past posts or just new posts being mirrored from reddit to Lemmy?

Ah. Then it’s basically not as useful as the use case I was expecting. Sorry about that. I misunderstood.
