    I blocked that thing when it first came out.

    Lemmy isn’t reddit. This isn’t the way to grow a community.

    Thanks for this post

    i believe it was blocked by lemmy.world due to concerns lack of moderation (bot just spams reddit threads with no human intervention)

    I blocked all the Reddit communities and instances. Lemmy needs to be it’s own thing which require community involvement, not reposting shit posts from Reddit.
