FYI, there’s many bot accounts already reposting stuff. There was an entire instance previously dedicated to it, though I think it shut down at some point. It was not popular, most people blocked the accounts / instances and they just clogged up the feed for newcomers due to the lack of engagement.
Comment on Reddit to lemmy reposter
Cattail@lemmy.world 1 week agoI was thinking about putting my personal account on the script so that way I can get notifications and engage.
I like to think that lemmy users could just enjoy the content without having to go to reddit

The problem isn’t content, it’s engagement on the content. Folks complain that niche communities have no engagement, just a bunch of posts by a single person… but it feels like 95% of the time, if I comment on those posts, there’s no reply, not even from the OP, and that discourages further posting.
If you’re willing to engage on everything you post, I don’t see the harm in it, but at that point, why even use a bot? Why not just find content you like (or have the bot notify you of content), then post it yourself as an actual human?

Yeah I’m liking this idea of a script just cross posting for me on my personal accounts then I can just react to comments that come from it. I would get surprised by whatever gets posted too.
Plus reddit does filter content. Seems fun to me
