Totally understand, and thank you. I'm frustrated with the folks attacking lemmit.online, not you for providing the service. Much appreciated.
I realize that lemmit.online is reviled for creating noise with high traffic subreddit reposts, but I want to supply another perspective. My city subreddit is one of the communities you've disabled already. It's a small city, with few subscribers on Reddit. There is no Lemmy community for my city, and no one even posts to the Lemmy community which exists for my state. So, no, I'm not going to create a Lemmy community to talk to myself. The loss of the lemmit.online community for my city means that I'll need to use Reddit, and if I'm going to be there anyway then I might as well just give up on Lemmy rather than have to use both.
I enjoyed The Year's Best Science Fiction anthologies edited by Gardner Dozois until his passing. I just discovered its spiritual successor, The Best Science Fiction of the Year edited by Neil Clarke, and am catching up now.
Would love this for Chrome desktop or Firefox mobile.
IDK where content creators should go, but as a viewer Piped looks promising. (I only discovered it because of @PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks.)
You are not alone
Unfortunately all subreddit mirror requests to that bot are auto-approved, and there is no subreddit subscriber limit. That means that very large subreddits with already-active Lemmy communities get mirrored. That causes unnecessary duplication and a lot of noise due to frequent posts to the subreddits.
That said, I actually subscribe to a few of that bot's communities for tiny, niche subreddits (like with 5k Reddit subscribers) that I followed. I use it because it will take time for Lemmy to reach adoption capable of sustaining those very specialized communities. It's useful for links (less so for discussions.)
