What is the etiquette on shamelessly stealing from Reddit to post here? (self.main)

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!

I remember when Digg and Reddit were equally competitive. People were taking stuff from one site and putting it on the other all the time (until Digg eventually died). I imagine it will soon be the case here.

At this point someone could make a lemmy community that just has a bot post the top of reddit. They don't own the information users are generating.
