I have the impression that the lion’s share of all posts on Lemmy are reposts or screenshots from other platforms. I don’t mean links to other sites of course, after all Lemmy is a Reddit clone and thus a link aggregator. I just think that Lemmy can’t survive if there is no way to make people aware that a particular post is OC to a fediverse-Plattform. I suspect that the Lemmy community would appreciate the effort that went into creating OC that wasn’t posted anywhere else - there’s just no way to tag Lemmy OC.

    as you said, Lemmy is a link aggregator – you post your original content to Pixelfed or Peertube or Funkwhale or Pleroma or Mastodon or a dozen other services and post the link to Lemmy with “[OC]” in the title as @can@sh.itjust.works said

    I’m here for conversation and seeing perspectives new to me. Cheers to the folks who create art or coding projects or whatever, I’ll enjoy the OC that interests me and be happy for the Creator’s talents, but that’s not the primary reason I’m on Lemmy.
