Comment on Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits?

It’s easy to make one. But why would you want that?
As time goes by and more and more people join the Fediverse, I’m sure some niche comms will start taking off. I don’t like bots mirroring content from somewhere else, even as a help. In fact, I will immediately unsubscribe from any comm that starts doing that. And I’m sure many people also would.

As I’ve said before, these communities already have nobody engaging in them. Hiding posts from bots will also hide posts from this bot.

Inactive communities should be locked down and redirect to more generalist active communities.
If your specific JRPG game community is inactive, lock the community and redirect to !jrpg@lemmy.zip

For a most niches on lemmy, there aren’t alternative communities that are more active.

There’s always one, even very generalist
You can even go back to !justpost@lemmy.world for the most generalist community around
