    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 noticed it posting like r/buildapc stuff; folks asking questions about how motherboards work and such.

        Like, I could see mirroring r/news or something where people are posting news articles. But technical questions? If anyone on Lemmy answers the question, the original author won’t read it.

        I never actually used r/ideacancer for anything but I think I might just open a community for it.

    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.
