What is the etiquette on shamelessly stealing from Reddit to post here? (sh.itjust.works)

By "here" I mean all of the Fediverse, but more specifically sh.itjust.works; I don't want to cause any bad vibes in my new home instance.

I don't NORMALLY post, and I'm limiting my access to Reddit in favor of Lemmy, but if stealing from the rich is acceptable, I'm happy to occasionally Robin Hood content over; I just prefer my theft to be within prevailing ethical guidelines.

Thanks!

depends, a lot of whats on reddit came from elsewhere, sometimes from years before. I dont feel any need to credit reddit for anything like that I grab, if its new and a post unique to the site, I bring it over as an ARCHIVE and link it.

It's a really good idea to archive it because there's no reason to believe reddit will exist in two years.

that is my thinking, I also mainly post about tech and often research or FOSS, so there is very little I feel I can't at least archive. When it comes to more creative work, id try to avoid bringing it over. Still kind of not sure about stuff like personal finance advice.

All that said, when it comes to text, its now trivial to re-write it.

Archiving is a good idea, but I don't know how to do that. Any suggestions on a good guide or am I making it too complicated?

all else fails

COPY/PASTE title with ARCHIVE as a the heading in the body.
