Joined lemmy after getting sick of reddit. The community here feels like a breath of fresh air. But disappointed at the lack of the more niche content (mostly motorsport discussion/news) but am sure that'll change with time.
disappointed at the lack of more niche content
As of now it's down to the lack of participating users in niche subs.
So, glad to have you here! With enough people starting to create discussions on stuff they enjoy this place will get livelier than ever.
Even Reddit had to start somewhere when the ability to comment was added to the site in 2005, you know.
I was half wondering if it was possible/allowed to create a bot account that "mirrors" content from certain subreddits such as r/formula1 to create an automated newsfeed for lemmy users to browse and comment on? I guess even if it were possible it'd rely on using reddit's API which is obviously soon to be a no-go
On Mastodon everyone frowned upon the Twitter mirrors, I suspect it would be the same here.
