Was just wondering if that was a reasonable and ethical way of growing Lemmy…

    I was having the same thought, mostly to kick-start some of the smaller niche communities that I used to use on Reddit.

    Copying content? No that will piss off a lot of people and makes Lemmy look desperate. Give it time to grow organically.

    In some communities I was already repeating the same advice over and over again like a parrot.
    There was so much traffic and desinformation that the same question would pop up 30 times in an hour.
    Since some of the comminities I liked I haven’t been able to find here, I just… created it. And am slowly filling it in with everything I amassed during my reddit time.
    People may find it useful or not, and may begin engaging with it or not (hope not, cause I wasn’t born to “mod”) but at least I will have all advice and resources in one spot, neat and tidy. And if anyone needs it, it will be there.

    They are hyperlinks, there is nothing unethical about sharing them.

      But then we will be getting the content from Reddit instead of Lemmy. What’s the point of leaving Reddit then? we will be still using it in a indirect way.
