I asked why posts are tagged #lemmy on the Reddit thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1novsdt/least_social_is_out_of_alpha_and_looking_for_beta/
Seems to be similar to Cluball, which used federated content without federating back

- Seems like federation stopped working for them a month ago: https://clubsall.com/c/all
It should be possible for Fediverse software to detect one-way federation, and put notices on them so they can be defederated
Indeed, let’s see how the project lead answers (they might be using scrapers instead of federation)
Whatever you post here is public, so meh?
I mean, yes, but there’s also an implicit social contract with fediverse software that you probably shouldn’t scrape without federating back…?
Also copying other people’s posts without linking back or giving them credit is a bit meh.
Update: "A mix of API usage, scraping and good old fashioned manual labor ha. But we regularly get content from Bluesky, reddit, imgur, twitter, lemmy, and so on. The site is essentially a fancy link aggregator. "
