Do you think Lemmy and other parts of the fediverse will eventually enshittify? I think this would be an interesting discussion to have. There currently is not financial incentive like the ones that have led centralized platforms to enshittify. But there might be in the future. Does decentralization protect against that tendency in some way?

Lemmy and Mastodon do give me the hope, that when one platform turns to shit, there will be people creating a platform that - for the time being - is not.

    I’m not sure that millions of Facebook users are interested in Super Famicom Wars and G-scale trains

    To be fair, if you really want to post about those in dedicated communities, Reddit is probably your best choice.

      Do any of the bots that repost subreddits in Lemmy reverse and post Lemmy communities to reddit?

      I’m sure Reddit would ban it if it noticed, but might be a way to attract users here for niche communities.

        Lemmy tolerance is up to the mods. Most of the time it’s seen as self promotion and forbidden
