Think of it this way:

Every time you steal from Reddit, you're saving thousands of Lemmy folks a visit there, and Spez loses more traffic.

Keep doing it.

Agreed. VLC is the bomb - they deserve the attention and praise.

Browsing reddit may feel gross, but just like the screenshots at !greentext@sh.itjust.works, we need people to sort through the waste and find the gems.

I won't go back but if you share direct links or rehost here that's a good thing for this side of fedi.

IMO reposting from larger sites is a very good thing. The main advantage that larger platforms have is the amount of content. If all the good stuff ends up here anyway then it makes it easier to switch for those who haven’t due to the lack of content.
