Comment on Is the rslashmonero experiment funneling our community back to Reddit inadvertantly?

Personally, I think the problem is that comments aren’t moved over as well. The fact that posts are mirrored allows me to look only on this forum for topics of interest rather than look on Reddit (which has more people) then monero.town. I wouldn’t need to look at Reddit at all if the comments are carried over. It wouldn’t have to have instant response, but if comments are mirrored 3-4 times a day on all posts newer than 3 days, that would capture most comments and give people a reason to never look back to Reddit. And the volume of updates is low enough that it should not affect performance. The key reason xmrtrader’s mirror failed is that it is a daily discussion so showing the posts have little value…the posted comments are what really counts.

Well, either way you can’t engage in discussion, and that’s the main problem with it. Mirroring comments won’t change the fact that when someone says “desktop GUI showing 0 balance” you cannot reply to that person here, engagement will not happen with these posts on Lemmy.
If you’re like me, and youre dead set on ditching Reddit, comments or no, it’s just noise that I can’t interact with. And that’s fine, I can block and move on, my concern that prompted me to post this post was that the reddit bot might be hurting the town, they seem like a constant reminder that we need to be over at reddit if we intend to actually discuss things.
