If it’s articles, that’s great.

If that’s the case, they should, at the very least, mark themselves as a bot account. And even then, it’s not really organic posting of articles. The bot didn’t say “hey, I really like the content of this article, so I’m going to re-post it on Lemmy”. I tend to post a lot of YouTube videos because I watched the video, liked the video, and thought others should watch it.

Not all of Reddit, Shitter, or YouTube needs to be re-posted on Lemmy.

I feel like that’s not enough, because one should not have to have an individual block list of a hundred users to use Lemmy.

I did.

And shit like that is why the Fediverse will ultimately fail.

The fact that the fediverse is young and evolving is what excites me about it.

ActivityPub has been around for 8 years, and IMO, the Fediverse is not evolving. It is not federating the way ActivityPub was designed for.

I want Mastodon threads in Lemmy. I want PeerTube subscriptions in Lemmy. I want to subscribe to Pixelfed users in Lemmy. I want all of these different ActivityPub communities to talk to each other.

I want to go to my front page and have it be the ultimate front page for me. Why should I be forced to use different pieces of software that pretend to communicate with the same protocol?! Lemmy is supposed to be a news aggregator, so fucking aggregate!
