Its not reddits belongings, just take it, the users don't care either. But, do never link reddit, not everyone has that shithole of a website on their block list.

I wouldn't know if it was on reddit. I don't think it belongs to them anyway.
Lemmy as a whole is at a growth at any cost period, if you can make a community more active, then go for it.
I remember when Digg and Reddit were equally competitive. People were taking stuff from one site and putting it on the other all the time (until Digg eventually died). I imagine it will soon be the case here.
At this point someone could make a lemmy community that just has a bot post the top of reddit. They don't own the information users are generating.
After all that work they did to screenshot Twitter?
I don't care. If there's something important happening I'd like to know about it, and my reddit app is broken so you'd be doing me a favor. If it's a bot doing it, then nah.
Not a bot; just a curious lurker who might get a slight thrill out of filching from reddit for the betterment of Lemmy.
Then go ahead and steal some memes. Just never link reddit. Never.
Fuckin' do it
The majority of stuff on reddit is "stolen" in the first place.
ideally, you wouldnt have to do it - but some communities have next to no content. I suppose, provide credit where credit is due, etc.
There are bots that scrape content off of reddit and repost it here, so as far as actual consequences go I doubt there are any. Personally, I try to keep all of my content original, but then again I like the original places I'm trying to rebuild over here so YMMV.
I think it's fine, even more so if you name who the original author is. I already created two clone subs and I plan on boosting them with a lot of stolen content from a bit everywhere until people join, if they do.
That being said, I'm new.
I just posted this same question here: https://yiffit.net/post/248094
You might find the comments useful.
I did see that, and found the responses very helpful. I think it's a great idea to bring over useful information that might be found on reddit.
But I was thinking more mindless stuff; like cat videos or the office memes. It's hard to tell what's original and what's not with stuff like that.

The internet is basically just five websites where each one shows screenshots of the other four anyways.
I'd rather see it because I'm trying to use reddit less, so it'd be nice if cross posters shared some good ass content
I do attribution and link back via libreddit to the source.
I encourage it as long as you're not claiming to be the original poster.
