I would argue that if you have any posts/comments with very helpful/popular content, repost it in Lemmy, then edit the Reddit post/comment to point to your Lemmy copy.
It won't work for everything that you've posted/commented, but if you pick out the biggest things it will help bring additional content to Lemmy, and hopefully some more users as well.
Maybe a happy medium is to take you best/most popular posts and repost it in here under a similar community, then edit your Reddit post to point to Lemmy for additional info...
Right, but how would they handle the case where personally identifiable information could be in the text itself?
Someone could tell a very descriptive story with enough detail that you can figure out who it is, or maybe someone who knows enough of the story in real life could figure out exactly who it was that made the comment?
For example, someone makes a comment with a long story and in there they include something like, "I'm Karen and I work at the restaurant where that [insert some major news story here...]". People make mistakes all the time and they might want to quickly delete that information.
Not only that, if you look at enough of someone's comment history you can start figuring out a lot of information about that person. In one comment they might mention the city they live in, in another they might mention the name of the business they work at, somewhere else you figure out their gender, in some cases they may even post a picture of themselves.
Edit: fixed formatting where some text was hidden.

To add on to this, they are doing everything the hard way to try to build out a more complete system. This adds a ton of tech debt as the more complicated things get, the harder it is to keep everything working when drastic changes are introduced. It has the benefit of paying attention to all the fine details, but at a cost to how long it takes to develop the game.
Luckily a single player game is much simpler to handle than a multiplayer game, which is why we'll see more features in Squadron 42 than in Star Citizen. And this is also why we don't have to worry about how major backend changes (like PES) can affect the game.
To explain this a little better, it's very helpful to watch a video like this: https://youtu.be/L3Fhed3MtVw where they explain a lot of these tricks that game developers employ.
So just looking at the first example from that video, hands are one of the things that a lot of game devs will use camera angles and such to trick you. In this case they make you think that items are changing hands from one character to the next, but they hide these occurrences from actually appearing on your screen.
That whole video is worth a watch, I'm sure that with Squadron 42 CIG will still take advantage of some tricks like the "loading screen/scenes" as shown there.
Another example (that the video doesn't go into) is how damage works. In a lot of games, the asset for something like a vehicle getting damaged can get quickly swapped out for a generically damaged one. Think of car doors being pounded in the same exact way no matter what hit you from the side. Or another example is a breaking dinner plate: Instead of implementing a damage system, you can just remove the dinner plate and quickly replace it with a bunch of generically broken shards of a dinner plate.
In Star Citizen (and SQ42), the visual damage is amazing in a way that each individual shot against a vehicle will appear and even cause holes to appear which you can actually see through rather than a simple sticker that's overlayed on top of the vehicle, or a generically damaged wing.
You have to remember that this game came out a long time ago, it had many features at the time that set it above other games.
It had a good storyline, multiplayer, maps that would change every time you logged in (multiplayer), the ability to be powerful after spending a lot of time in the game (and if you saw anyone with a rare/cool looking armor you know they worked for it, there were no lootbox mechanics where you could just pay money for it). And of course... there is no cow level ;) The skill tree allowed for tons of different abilities and combos, or you could grind away at a single skill and become godly with it.
You may not recognize the appeal to the game now just because so many of the mechanics have been copied and implemented in countless other games since then.
I'm pretty new here. I'd say the concept is the same in the sense that they are each their own community run by their own moderators. However, the all powerful Admins are those in control of the instance.
One interesting example is that Beehaw has started making "Bee themed" community icons which makes it easy to tell when you're looking at one of the communities hosted on their instance.
Someone on Lemmy.world could have another community with the exact same name, you just have to pay attention to the end (and having themed icons also helps).
But it goes even a little farther than that. We can end up with Mastadon (twitter equivalent) users who are also able to comment in these communities. I don't think its working in reverse yet (at least not for Lemmy.ml accounts).
Wasn't there also some drama recently over Twitch trying to take away/banning sponsorships from the streamers?
Remember when ads were short and easy to skip? They're just getting more annoying now.
I could bear them back then, but now I can tell immediately if I accidentally use the mobile app on my phone vs my phone's web browser.
Now to just figure out how to get the web app to default to "New"....
Edit: Found it. Click on your profile name, then settings, then change default sort. They have a " Top Day" option as well that might be good. But then I'd miss out on the new stuff.
That "white board" on the fridge is an "app" that comes with it as a feature. Someone just used it to draw the surprised Pikachu face.
It's turned on, but you're most likely right that it's not cool because I bet they have the temperature dialed up all the way.
I think users have also been uploading massive files of white noise to Reddit... Louis Rossmann spoke about this during a recent video:
