Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

People have to find stuff here first.

I have thought about creating a bot to crosspost content from reddit here but I suppose they will quickly block access. RSS could work to a degree, but it doesn't include the full content and media.

If you or somebody else has ideas, I'm listening.

I think, though, I stuck a Leminal Space link in my bio or upvoted a Luigi and got banned. So, not sure if you can directly link to Leminal over there or not.

I have a link to my instance in the bio and regularly post about it and haven't had problems with exposure until now.

That's cool! Definitely have to check it out.

FYI, the general consensus is that people disliked it as it was just a systematic repost bot from Reddit.

Reposting from Reddit is fine, but you need to filter the good content from the bad one

I thought about only crossposting uprising content and only a few a day. Simply crossposting everything would be definitely a bad idea.
