Comment on Thoughts on bringing sportbots.xyz to Lemmy?

There’s no lack of dead sports communities around. Turning them into dead sport bot communities doesn’t sound like it would help. Sports fans aren’t going to show up for that.
Going through the effort of manually posting screenshots in the sports communities would go way farther than getting a bot to cross post.

Sorry, this is a bit condescending.
Go take a look at my profile. I have almost 2000 posts already. I’ve been posting 10-20 posts every day to all the different sport communities. Do you think that dedicating a good half-hour every day to read a bunch of feeds and sharing them is not already enough effort?
I’m not saying that we should rely only on mirror accounts, but I’m saying that it makes no sense to ignore them. I’m not proposing to take just a random army of AI slop and put it here. I’m saying that we can look at the places where the content curation already has been made and replicate it here.

FYI, I see indeed 1.43k posts on your communick.news/u/rglullis, but lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/rglullis@communick.news only shows 597. SJW shows 617: sh.itjust.works/u/rglullis@communick.news
So not sure where you posted the missing ones, but it seems like it was on communities that large instances do not follow.

Ok, I have 1.92k comments, not posts.

I think Blaze’s point still is relevant: if you are posting a lot on communities that large instances dont even know about, then your efforts will be harder. Ideally one could change something about that, for example use a user account on such a big instance to pull in those communities into federation.
