I mean, I see a usecase for that, given you make a separate community for that, and not, say, spam c/technology with everything posted on XDA. So, kinda like RSS with comments. I personally follow hackaday both here and via RSS.
Alternatively, one can mirror someone who publishes rarely and only cool stuff. I remember mr.d0x being such a guy (now I don’t really follow security-related things much, so mb it’s changed, but I doubt it)
… and enhanced by a sentence or two why it is worthwhile. Getting really tired of the no-effort link drops around here. Better yet, the same no-effort link drop to multiple similar communities on various instances.
Is there a block function for link-only posts?
Are there filters to prevent seeing duplicate content?
I view this the same way i view reddit mirror bots. Flooding Lemmy with inauthentic automated content will reduce the overall community interaction and quality. Not all communities / instances allow this kind of content, so be sure to contact the mods before implementing it.

Interesting articles should be curated by humans before posting.
