Content jacking/reposting is a problem on Lemmy. (hackertalks.com)

Content jacking and top posting other people's content is really bad for Lemmy. It's also just being a dick to other people making content on the platform.

feed is spammy
divides conversation
chills engagement
makes Lemmy less friendly to posters

This pattern is very common on lemmy, and needs to stop.

This is often used to attack or force migrate conversations from a instance someone doesn't like to another instance they do like. It's offensive by its very nature.

If you want to make a better community, great, do it but not at the expense of other Lemmy posters.

Is also the only general instance of note to do so, I love it for it, but it doesn't make enough of a statement to the outside rep of the Threadiverse to make a damn for growth purposes. And I don't think the admin of .cafe has the resources to scale either, not like .world does so it's not like we can just massively dump newcomers to it either

And there were other technical issues with it as well - like it would not show any images for months. I had great hopes for it, but while it is a great small instance, as you say it is no lemmy.world replacement.
