  @jo@blahaj.zone @maegul@hachyderm.io @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @fediversenews@venera.social my boring opinion is that no fediverse service will ever work like Reddit, and if it did would likely be completely unusable.

    Probably no federated, open-source service.

    But it's perfectly possible to imagine a Reddit-like system, or even Reddit itself, that remained centralised, closed-source, and run by a single corporation, but which also "spoke" ActivityPub so that its posts and comments could be seen and replied to by the wider Fediverse.

    In fact that's similar to the sort of proposition we've seen in the last few months from people like Tumblr and even Meta.

    Of course it's likely that the wider Fediverse would just view that sort of thing as unwanted and defederate from that centralised service, but at least conceptually a Fedi-aware Reddit is a thing that could be possible.

      Ok technically maybe. But I don't think moderation can be scaled and/or divided into chunks like we usually expect in the fediverse. That's a major headache for anyone thinking they might want to be an owner.
      
      The attraction of a subreddit thread where some participants can't see the others and/or where one has to sign up to multiple Lemmy or kbin instances to see all the communities/subreddits/conversations that one wants is going to put many people off.
