What if reddit joins the fediverse? What are the implications for that if it were even feasible? We would end up with subreddits as communities on Lemmy such as !askreddit@reddit.com, perhaps.
What are the community’s thoughts on this, given the new app by Meta that has attempted to join our free society? Do we just defed, and hope that all the popular instances all do the same?

A reddit instance is conceivable, but the magic of the federation is that no one instance has control. Reddit has control of every subreddit, and they’d lose that control joining the federation. Likewise, there’s no financial gain from having an instance.
