Make them

There’s no feasible way to glean that information quickly with the API changes, but a potential solution to that may come on Bing. I was reading last week sometime that they’re partnering with reddit to bring longer threads to bing search results, so that would help if your concern is giving them traffic. Otherwise I can’t see anyway of getting around having to just rebuild the archive organically over time here on Lemmy.

Cross post those particular posts in niche subs yourself and hopefully that helps drive engagement. Can’t hurt.

I get where you’re coming from, but why not just let Lemmy be its own thing and hope it grows and attracts the right user base? I think I’d rather keep the two separate.
