Word of mouth is great if people genuinely talk about it, like I do my best to talk about these sorts of software but it has just turned to ‘Here we go again’ more than ‘Yeah I want to join’. Any new people I talk to about it just seem not interested.

In the wild I’ve never really met anyone that is trying to advertise anything like this, so we might need a little more than just word of mouth.

How is something meant to grow organically with no advertisement?

How do we get those more valuable users across then? Those that want to post quality non-AI gen content

Or you could just block the bridge… Like I understand wanting to chop your own dick off but for a simple thing you could block… come on.

Can I? Where can I request it?

It would be a one way bridge for the content that we feel are missing such as really small communities and when they move across it makes sense to get rid of it (at least a good amount of the users) so yes.

That is completely understandable… Would you say community based bots for those small use cases for certain people maybe make more sense than a full reddit bridge?

Yeah my use case would be for those smaller communities that are very user limited such as a reddit for my local area that I hate having to go back to just to check what’s going on with my local area.

But like checking reddit every two seconds as people are linking it doesn’t make sense does it?

It would be most likely a one way system but most reddit users seem to not want to move across as they think they will miss something (what I understand with things like local communities).

It takes sense in someways for smaller communities to be bridged to allow those users to move across and not miss anything.

Yeah, I have reddits I use for my local area and I’d love if I could have them bridged so I can at least see the updates and it might make a few of my locals move over here instead of reddit in the long run as they wouldn’t miss out on anything, if anything they miss less over here.

It wouldn’t put things into Reddit but would only pull from it. But understandable if you wouldn’t want to touch it, Doesn’t it make sense to let each user on the Fediverse to choose that?

So what is stopping a one-way bridge? Reddit content here but no content back?

I think it would be good to have a proper talk with the Lemmy community if someone was to create this project again as it would make sense as you lot will be the ones that ‘gain’ from it more than Mastodon or Misskey users.

I thought most people moved from Reddit due to the way the platform was managed with AI stuff and the API

At least it’s a good attempt at showing Reddit users that they could move across and not loose anything, getting one user across at a time is the goal with this sort of thing wouldn’t it?

A bridge in this case is just a easy way to automate a fake instance that will have the Reddit content from subreddits to be transfered across to Lemmy and other Forum based Fediverse Instance.

So instead of people manually doing it, it will be mostly automated (Apart from having to follow the instance community first like any other lemmy instance)

Your friend has a great eye for getting a good shot.
