Yeah, check !main@soccer.forum, I am using the tool to post some content that I find on /r/soccer. I am working to do similar things with /r/NBA and /r/NFL.
Comment on Lemmy instances that are focused on mirroring Reddit content?

Let’s say I have a favorite sport and there exists a sub_ named: r/.
Let’s also say there already exits a Lemmy community and that community is struggling to get off the ground: !@lemmy.world
I can see a value add if your project directly helps !@lemmy.world get started; but I don’t see how it does. If anything wouldn’t your project compete with !@lemmy.world and therefore hinder it?
It might be different if your project directly tied r/ to !@lemmy.world but it doesn’t.

Did you check with the admins on lemmy first or are you bot posting without permission?
rglullis@communick.news 8 months ago
So, like /r/soccer and !main@soccer.forum?
tpWinthropeIII@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes

Checking out !main@soccer.forum I saw very few posts by bots. Mainly saw posts by you. I saw one post coming from alien.top .
What’s interesting is that only posts by bots have any comments. So maybe this could be a good way to get communities started.
Therefore, if it’s okay with the admins at the following community, I’d nominate !tennis@lemmy.world
There’s almost nothing happening there.

Do keep in mind that the comments on the soccer threads are also likely to be from bot accounts, but I’d expect that as more people start subbing to the community, there will be more “organic” participation.
As for the inclusion on the bot on a lemmy.world community. Please get in contact with the community mod, but I really doubt that the instance admins would be interested. If they don’t go with it, I might set up a Lemmy instance specific for tennis (matchpoint.zone was available for cheap. ;)
