lemmit.online is a controversial lemmy server since its sole purpose is to run a bot that mirrors reddit posts to lemmy. Previous discussion 3 years ago about
whether to block it: https://lemmy.ca/post/1380644
Currently it is blocked from lemmy.ca and I would like to unblock it to ease weaning off reddit gradually. If I can use lemmy.ca as my main site with links off to reddit on occassion I don't need to use reddit anymore to browse but just drop in for a specific post of interest.
The main complaint is it can fill up the all category with high volume
of low interaction posts. This can be dealt with on a per user basis by blocking either the lemmit.online instance or blocking the bot@lemmit.online user.
Looking at the top 10 lemmy instances on https://fedidb.com/software/lemmy here's who allows or blocks the lemmit.online instance:
lemmy.world ✅
lemmy.ml ✅
sh.itjust.works ✅
lemmy.dbzer0.com ✅
lemmy.ca ❌
programming.dev ✅
lemmy.zip ✅
lemmy.blahaj.zone ❓
ttrpg.network ✅
lemmy.one ✅
That doesn't seem like something that should ever be unblocked. Reposts from reddit should get less necessary over time.
If you want to wean yourself off reddit try following the RSS feeds for your usual subreddits.
Reddit has rss feeds? I thought they shut that down years ago along with every other quality of life feature.
It still works if you use old reddit. I still follow r/halifax with https://old.reddit.com/r/halifax.rss
I could be wrong but the .rss link might not be possible, Reddit's depreciating old.reddit.com as so that .rss link might also be going down with it.
Apologies for the potential bad news.
