That's why it's "For Reddit". Google even had this stupid naming scheme because "Reddit Is Fun" existed at the time, and they even had to change to "RiF For Reddit". The "For Reddit" part already mitigates that worry - as I understand, that was the entire point of Google enforcing that policy to begin with. And honestly I'm just kind of being wishy about it. I'd have loved to see all of the Reddit apps basically Trojan horse their users into Lemmy rather than simply shut down.
