Yes. Trying at least; (imo) Lemmy hasn't quite got the critical mass yet. The official Reddit app is so crappy that each time I find myself being drawn back in, I leave really quickly. I didn't expect me to find it that bad.

Is the poster's IP address, system, or other system identifier/location, tracked?

If I have users giantshortfacedbear and throwaway123. Then it could be inferred or impled that they are same person if there are from the same IP or phone.

I've been trying it for concurrent to Rif and Sync. The differences are individually small, but taken as a whole the official app is just horrible. If it weren't for Rif and Sync, I don't think I would have become a Reddit user. I'm desperately hoping Lemmy reaches the critical mass and Sync for Lemmy becomes a thing.

That's so cool. I might spin up a test community to have a play with that.

I've wondered how hard it would be to write a bot that, for each new link-post in a particular sub in Reddit, it creates a corresponding link-post in a matching community in Lemmy. Intrinsically I feel like it would be easy, and might make the switch for users from there to here easier as it is already seeded with 'the content'.
