Similar to the time Soviet Russia wanted to join the anti-Soviet alliance which was trying to pretend wasn’t made to plot against the soviets.

OK, I’ll get stoned for saying this, but I’d welcome it if done properly.
It’s a large user base, lots of niche communities.
The more complicated part would be moderation, as that’s already a problem now. Also, resources may be a problem.
None of its supposed assets make up for the corporate overlords who run it and promote or permit all sorts of terrible things
Lemmy.world already exists unfortunately
I do miss some of the subreddits though

people just dont understand how public the fediverse is.
That’s the same as asking how we would feel if Facebook decided to join the fediverse. The way instances reacted to that, would be the way they’d react to reddit, or twitter, or any of the enshitified tech giants.
The same way we dealt with threads. Defederation.
lemmy.world is already federated
aaa
This would be a horrible thing because, even if we get more communities here, reddit now would have the vast majority of the fediverse in their hands. It would only be a matter of time before reddit would pull a microsoft to try and extinguish it.
I would get banned from their instance for saying I approve of people physically fighting Nazis. It would be nice to have more people to fill out niche communities though.
it wont happen, that would basically be broadcasting reddit content to servers whose intention is to offer it up the public for free (no ads).
if we cant utilize their api without paying through the nose, there is zero chance theyll let activitypub do it for free.
Cool. Biggest reason I quit reddit was I hate was them enforcing their dumb layout. While there exists other reasons like powermods, If I can visit it through mastodon or lemmy; why not really?
Long as none of them were given mod powers, nbd
It wouldn’t bother me. I wouldn’t subscribe to any subreddits though.
I meaaaan, while I did join Lemmy because I was sick of reddit the company’s greedy decisions, I do miss the amount of users and content it has/generates. If reddit joining the fediverse meant they couldn’t dictate what app I use to view their posts, I probably would enjoy being able to browse their content again.
I’m here mostly because the implementation is superior. If Reddit was accessible directly from here, it’d be a total win-win imho.
It would also be a lose-lose for them, as it would open up their data to free-of-charge use via API without any benefit for them – so it’s not going to happen.
You’re looking for Lemmy.world, and the answer is that it swallows up the larger part of the main federated instances, and becomes one of the worst instances.
