Don’t fetch reddit posts. Just create content. Comment and upvote or downvote stuff. And hack your friends DNS so when they type in reddit they come to lemmy.

Don’t try to mirror something from reddit. There’s an instance that does that, lemmit.online, and many if not most instances have defederated because it’s a blight on the land.

It’s counterintuitive but making a bot to post reddit content here acqually squashes engagement here.

The best thing to do is to post content.

Accroding to wiki then this(fediverse) should be linked to platforms like pixelfed and mastadon too, is it? How do I see content from them or in what way are these platforms interlinked with this reddit styled one?

As this has not been answered yet: Mastodon treats lemmy-groups as users, so you can see a user @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world boosting your question on mastodon. Your profile yourself looks like any mastodon profile on mastodon. However, your post contains only the title and a link to it:

(Currently, I see no lemmy answers and boosts to your question, which I believe has to do with federation - I had to open your post by opening the link to it in mastodon, because neither this community nor your profile were “known” by my mastodon instance before).

I could now interact with your post from mastodon by replying to it, which would then show up here (usually obvious from the reply starting with tagging your username, which is how a reply on mastodon looks like).

Furthermore, you can use mastodon to post in this community by tagging the community profile (in the @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world format) in your toot. The first line of your toot is handled as the title of the lemmy post.

I have no knowledge of how federation between lemmy and pixelfed/peertube etc works, but federation between these and mastodon works pretty good - mastodon posts with pictures pretty much look like native pixelfed posts and vice versa, and peertube videos can be watched and commented easily from mastodon. The condition js that they are federated to the respective servers.

Welcome to the fediverse. The next few weeks are going to be confusing as shit…but then you’ll love it. Ask all the questions you want. You now have a girlfriend. Her name is Nicole, and she’s the fediverse chick! She just wants to steal all your data!

Share fun pictures and interesting conversation topics!

Lemmy is part of the Fediverse but if you want to get more specific you could say threadiverse to include the mbin, piefed, etc. Users.

Suggest content popular in the user’s region

Focus on making posts you want to discuss or would want to see in communities that interest you and you want to see active.

While I’d argue it’s better to shake off the platform thinking, the simple way to put it would be that you simply refer to the site you’re using, feddit.org, when mentioning it to others. The umbrella term for these connected sites is either fediverse or the open social web, whichever you prefer. Each site like this connects with one another, but given formatting differences (Pixelfed is more image-focused, Mastodon is microblogging), posts shared between them try to display in ways fitting one another’s format which can sometimes look rough.

You may see content from these other sites when browsing the main feed/front page set to All, which displays content from elsewhere that others on your site (feddit.org) have subscribed to.
