Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Arguably, anyone can scrape lemmy for free. Of course, it's illegal, unless explicitly allowed by the license of the respective instance.

It's sad for reddit though that they could have the option to protect their users from scraping, since they are big enough to enforce their rights. But yeah, profits.

Can I sue them btw to pay me for whatever value my comments and posts have created over there?

Scraping lemmy is as easy as setting up a server advertising it on Activitypub and all the data will be sent straight to you.
