Similar to the time Soviet Russia wanted to join the anti-Soviet alliance which was trying to pretend wasn't made to plot against the soviets.

I'll be honest, I'd be happy. I know Reddit as a whole sucks, but there are individual communities that still hold value. I miss active communities for niche crafts, I miss fandoms, and I miss actual life-changing shit like trans DIY, especially for countries outside the US.

I mainly stopped using Reddit because they killed third-party apps. If I could access Reddit from here, that'd be a pretty sweet deal for me.

I meaaaan, while I did join Lemmy because I was sick of reddit the company's greedy decisions, I do miss the amount of users and content it has/generates. If reddit joining the fediverse meant they couldn't dictate what app I use to view their posts, I probably would enjoy being able to browse their content again.

I came to Lemmy because I disliked what Steve Huffman did to reddit.

I’d be completely fine with the users being here. I do miss the whole active community for every niche little thing part. If if federates that’d be neat.

It won’t, since greedy Steve Huffman can’t sell the fediverse to Google while screwing 3rd party devs and users that make it what it is. But I’d welcome it.

Lemmy.world already exists unfortunately

I do miss some of the subreddits though

OK, I'll get stoned for saying this, but I'd welcome it if done properly.

It's a large user base, lots of niche communities.

The more complicated part would be moderation, as that's already a problem now. Also, resources may be a problem.

None of its supposed assets make up for the corporate overlords who run it and promote or permit all sorts of terrible things
