I mean, you couldn't source a link to a tweet yourself and had to share a reddit post on reddit's competing platform?

x is not open to non x users! So it is a no no

Plus using the competing platform bandwith is the better form of warfare anyway

Those are pretty good points. Still, you had to participate in Reddit in order to find that story.

The point is that news organizations, reporters, etc. need to start using fediverse platforms so we're not stuck still using Xitter and Reddit. Moreover, a source from a reputable news outlet would be preferred over social media.

I post around 5-10 link per day to feed the fediverse, Some of them come from reddit. Actually , despite all the good intention the fediverse is a dead place compared to reddit. But dont worry, when I read something worthwhile here, I dont post it on reddit, I have no account there.

I see plenty of content in my feed on lemmy. I don't think it's dead.
