Comment on Reddit to lemmy reposter
JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 3 weeks agoJust leeching content from reddit will never get Lemmy anywhere.
I recently leeched some interesting post material from Reddit, shamelessly reposted it here, and it seemed to get lots of appreciation and a healthy amount of commentary.
I wasn’t acting as a bot, but does it matter? Most of the content’s probably not original to Reddit, anyway. Maybe using a bot in conjunction with hand-picking interesting material is a good idea, y’know?

Agree on the handpicking yes. Nothing bad in reposting content, but mass posting just drowns communities and doesn’t generate engagement.

Agree. I’ve seen a couple chronic examples of that, recently.
A poster of content is also a ‘host’ to that content. If users comment, they have an opportunity to reply and upvote. A bot offers nothing.
