I would love it because there are subreddits I use a lot on reddit that don't have an active equivalent on lemmy at all.

I'm here mostly because the implementation is superior. If Reddit was accessible directly from here, it'd be a total win-win imho.
It would also be a lose-lose for them, as it would open up their data to free-of-charge use via API without any benefit for them -- so it's not going to happen.
The only community I cared about on refit was r/Korea because I was a new migrant here. But I got banned for posting a link to my own website where I uploaded this video https://tube.jeena.net/w/aBpFLKq3x2r9R3aSrBtece which I myself recorded. They said I should have uploaded it to YouTube instead and was banned for ever.
Now I try to build up !korea@lemmy.funami.tech and it's not going great, basically only lurkers there :D but that's OK. I'm still so but hurt about being banned that I don't want them here anyway.
Was it an IP ban?
No just a posting ban on my username. But I'm not an asshole to circumvent it, if they block me then they don't want me there and then they don't deserve me contributing there.
It cannot because of copyright constraints. It sells it's data to others.
But look, if Reddit did, at least people could use third party and free apps.
I wouldn't want it myself because I think Reddit is super shitty now, but if their instance could be blocked I suppose it wouldn't matter.
That said I don't think they will. They'll remain in their walled garden until they're as obsolete as AOL became.
I got banned from r/gaming for shit talking pedos. I donβt want these people here.
The amount of bots, spam and other problematic content would be overwhelming for admins to moderate, most instances would just defederate on day 0.
And progress in moderating tools would be made.
It would give me new respect for redditβs leadership, given the tight grip they have on their content at the moment.
Reddit clearly spends like $6 per year on feature engineering so this would require around one millennia to implement.
A lemmyversary? Or Day of Creation? Creaday?
