Seems like it would be a good way to funnel content into more niche communities by tying their posts to whatever is posted on a subreddit until they can take off on their own.
Does such a thing exist? If not, making it shouldn’t be too difficult. I could probably whip something up real quick and toss it up on a software sharing platform.
Would anyone be interested in something like this? It could actually work really well with Lemmy’s option to show/hide bot posts because people could choose if they want to see it at all.
There were a lot more during one of the big Reddit migrations but they don’t work.
Communities need engagement and you don’t get that with bot cross posts.
Yeah I remember when people were “backing up” subreddits here and mostly just created a shitload of dead posts that the original OP had no idea existed
