What is the etiquette on shamelessly stealing from Reddit to post here?
By "here" I mean all of the Fediverse, but more specifically sh.itjust.works; I don't want to cause any bad vibes in my new home instance.
I don't NORMALLY post, and I'm limiting my access to Reddit in favor of Lemmy, but if stealing from the rich is acceptable, I'm happy to occasionally Robin Hood content over; I just prefer my theft to be within prevailing ethical guidelines.
I don't care. If there's something important happening I'd like to know about it, and my reddit app is broken so you'd be doing me a favor. If it's a bot doing it, then nah.
There are bots that scrape content off of reddit and repost it here, so as far as actual consequences go I doubt there are any. Personally, I try to keep all of my content original, but then again I like the original places I'm trying to rebuild over here so YMMV.
I think it's fine, even more so if you name who the original author is. I already created two clone subs and I plan on boosting them with a lot of stolen content from a bit everywhere until people join, if they do.
If you are manually copying something over, I put the text in > quotation and link to the original, replacing the reddit.com part of the link with libreddit.hu
I just quote the source just like any other website, etc.
