interesting idea
one thing I like from kbin is that because it does this natively I can follow a kbin magazine from an empty unused account and create a misskey antenna pointed at the hashtags in question (with replies hidden) which allows me to subscribe to kbin communities without getting spammed with boosts of replies, so I may end up making use of this depending on how widely it gets adopted
that said I’m still not convinced that increasing lemmys reach outside the threadiverse makes sense just yet while its federation is so buggy, case in point: brain.d.on-t.work/notes/9md8phwlkzlj0xe9 (edits on posts are repeatedly re-boosted, which likely wasn’t noticed as mastodon only ever allows one boost from an actor)

Ye, lemmy integration with the microblogging fediverse is pretty janky atm.

i can see why you may not want this but have you potentially considered rehosting/attaching any images from image posts in the bot’s replies? as lemmy doesn’t federate those properly just yet (github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4035 will fix it AFAIK) it’d make the bot quite a lot more useful and things like memes do tend to get boosted a lot more widely than links, though i can definitely see why it may feel a bit like freebooting (so, it could perhaps be a per-community option for non-OC-heavy communities?)
