Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

An single sided interactive mirror of Reddit's communities.
It would be lovely to have all that content directly available right here.
And to be able to discuss the content with other Lemmy users.
But without being able to discuss / send back to the Reddit users.
This has been tried, but there's so much more reddit content that nobody can comment on it from here and start a good conversation. Plus many people came here to escape that.
Fair, a lot of dumb toxicity on Reddit.
Perhaps only syncing posts and not comments could be a good idea?
There's an instance lemmit.online that mirrors reddit content and you can subscribe to the communities.
Like others said, there is so much content it's hard to get conversations going, it works better to cross post interesting content to a lemmy community.
Thank you! :)
Sadly a lot of the small/niche sub Reddits I miss on Lemmy aren't synced (e.g. MysteryDungeon, ModdedMinecraft and Palworld), some exist here, but the activity on them is quite small.
However I did find !feedthebeast@lemmit.online on there ^
~~Sadly it doesn't appear to play nicely with the Eternity app I use to browse Lemmy though :/~~
It works now, guess it only syncs posts since you're subscribed though! :)
Still appreciate the info though!
Yes, it's a lemmy thing that when the first personnel on your instance subscribes, it takes like a page of posts and then only the new ones going forward.
Lemmit.online used to have a way to add new subreddits, but it seems they have stopped accepting new ones. Must have got a bit too big to handle.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !feedthebeast@lemmit.online
That's basically what !reddit@lemmy.world is. There are others in the same vein though I don't know how active they are. Some of them are even automated but I feel like Lemmy hates bots more than most other social media platforms and have blocked them so communities that use bots to fill out content are largely ignored.
I was more hoping on being able to read niche/small sub Reddits straight on Lemmy
Since most of them don't exist here yet / have much less content
