Is the rslashmonero experiment funneling our community back to Reddit inadvertantly? (monero.town)

Something to think about. It is pointless to interact with any of those posts directly here, so as a result they get no engagement. They're just links to Reddit, and I feel like they're just funnelling engagement back there. I can't help but notice, possibly incorrectly, that activity here sharply dropped as soon as that bot went active.

If we want the content here, wouldn't it make more sense to pull non self post content directly and post it as a first class Lemmy post here without linking to the reddit post?

If our goal is to make this the new Monero home, wouldn't a better approach be adding this site to the sidebar on the subreddit, or having automod inform every poster about it's existence? Is moving here even our goal anymore?

I just remember there were announcements in the newsletters like Revuo and stuff saying this was replacing the subreddit, then the subreddit was locked to new posts. I was sure it was happening and I was very excited.

I don't think there should be a single place for Monero discussion, I just think the community needs to end it's reliance on Reddit. I'd love for everyone in the community who wants to to launch spaces, people do and I engage in a few of them. My problem is specifically that reddit is unpredictable and dangerous.

I don't know a good answer either, what I said above is the best I came up with.

The subreddit was shut down after people voted to participate in the reddit protest and afterwards people voted to keep every like it was before. You are free to start another poll on if automod should point people here or whatever else but there's quite the conflict of interest (or at least looks like it) if I do it 😅
