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

That’s not true. There’s one bot that routinely posts to news communities called “MicroWave” and there are consistently people engaging with its posts.

Most people don’t even recognize it’s a bot.

    Still not a bot.
    
    If that account is a bot, it should be flagged as such, and LW admins are usually looking closely at those cases.
    
    @MrKaplan@lemmy.world, I assume you checked whether Microwave was a bot or not?

Yeah, it is true. Check out the lemm.it instance it tried to do exactly what you’re talking about about

  Somebody already mentioned that, and I mentioned how all the communities are all locked and literally only the bot can post.
