What if reddit joins the fediverse? What are the implications for that if it were even feasible? We would end up with subreddits as communities on Lemmy such as !askreddit@reddit.com, perhaps.

What are the community’s thoughts on this, given the new app by Meta that has attempted to join our free society? Do we just defed, and hope that all the popular instances all do the same?

    He could, but wouldn’t.

    But in terms of practicality, you also need to look at the fact that large organisations are full of bureaucracy, I believe there are 200 people working on the Android app for Reddit and it’s relatively terrible, whereby the development of Sync was handled by a single person and it was light-years ahead.

    Using that as a benchmark, it would take them years before they were able to integrate with us.
