I know this has crossed the minds of more than a few people here over the past several days.
What would that event look like? A new platform that implements ActivityPub and attempts to federate somehow? A completely separate site (à la pxls.space) related only in spirit? Something in between?
Further, how do you think it would play out, given the difference in our userbase and Reddit’s?
It should be not part of Lemmy’s server side code. Actually even integrating current image support is ill advised. It should have been an optional microservice.
