Is it a good (probably temporary) way to get content in Lemmy?
Honestly yes I think it makes sense to do this, as long as the content itself isn’t hosted on reddit. It would be cool if somebody could make a bot for mods to enable this in their communities to specify subs to pull posts from and how often.
Engagement is what makes or breaks a social media platform, especially in it’s early days.
Right now, anything that boosts engagement is 100% good IMO. that will help retain users and attract more.
I don’t have a problem with it. Although, I do think “sublemmy” is a stupid word, and we should just say “community”.
In short, copying Reddit’s content is fine. Copying Reddit’s terminology is silly.
Reddit was all about reposting content. Whether it was from news sites or twitter, it was full of it. There’s no reason why that couldn’t be done here. Especially in early days.
