MODERATORS
I see an awful lot of people here who have quote left reddit, and yet they still go back to Reddit every day to see what's going on, or to grab popular posts so they can repost it here and try to get imaginary points or something. All they're really doing is helping inflate metrics like this.
I believed the same, but in /r/piracy have seen people helping those inquiring about what lemmy is and how to get set up getting help. I thought it wouldn't help, but people visiting reddit from lemmy are actually assisting reddit users who need help moving. It isn't just meme posting going inside the comments themselves.
Right on. I hear you.
