Is it a good (probably temporary) way to get content in Lemmy?

I don't like reposting content from Reddit unless it's suuuuuper good and relevant.

Especially if it's images with that shitty Reddit banner.

Like if the times are really slow, then a repost to keep the mood up is fine, but casually/regularly, I think that's meh.

Also, there are communities specialized in reposting/mirroring Reddit subs, so if that's what you want, just go there?

Is the philosophy in the Fediverse not to rely upon upvoting/downvoting to determine quality of content?

Just because something has been posted on Reddit doesn’t mean the bar for posting it here should be higher.
