This is very interesting. What date will show up in Lemmy for the post? The current date/time or the original?
It will keep the current date due to users not being able to override a timestamp, but the top part of a post shows the original date and link to the original post: https://lemmy.emerald.show/post/764
Nice workaround!
Thanks! I also felt it was the most ethical thing to do. This way you can refer to any comments made to your post, but we don't copy comments over ourselves (which potentially can violate users privacy if they don't want their comments to leave Reddit)
