Should lemmy.lukeog.com be defederated? (lemmy.world)

All the communities on lemmy.lukeog.com are mirrors of Reddit boards. lemmy.lukeog.com does not accept posts from Lemmy users -- only its bot may post and comment, and its posts and comments are just mirrors of Reddit posts and comments.

This doesn't seem like a useful way to use Lemmy. It's more like just a mirror of Reddit, in which case archive.is or web.archive.org would be more useful, in my opinion.

Better not to waste bandwidth and resources on this, in my opinion.

If you want reddit posts go to reddit? If you like the content, we are a content aggregator so cross platform posts are encouraged? Using bots like that isn't any different from any other freebooting.

I can see the benefit of it, just wanting the info without giving Reddit any traffic. But I think yeah if you wanna do that have an instance that doesn't federate or something

Don't get me wrong, I get why they do it. I'm just saying they should be curating content, not blindly reposting.
