Redditors are smelly and icky and I don't like them
Reddit has some excellent niche communities that don’t exist here. I want to access that content but I refuse to give Reddit any ad revenue.

I’m a Redditor. I don’t like you.

Not even just the niche communities, there are plenty of large communities that just don’t have a presence here whatsoever. Show subreddits, for example, don’t really seem to exist or get any attention, apart from Star Trek and Futurama. If I want to talk about the new episodes of Invincible or Rick and Morty or Doctor Who, Reddit is currently the only place, unless I want to sit around talking to myself in am empty Lemmy community.
Conversely, though, filling dead subs with mirrors of reddit content that we can’t seriously interact with feel like it’s just ramming home the point that the specific Lemmy community in question is dead. It’s like saying “come to Lemmy where you watch reddit have a discussion, but not join it.”

At first. After we map the places where the discussions are happening, it becomes “do you know this discussion you are having on reddit? Come to this place on Lemmy so that we can continue it without being molested by ads and Big Tech oligarchs”.
