I started working on a script that will take top post from subreddits to post then to corresponding c/ on lemmy with various accounts to give the impression of minimal activity.
The idea comes from a lemmy user etting saying they would never want to support reddit with lemmy content (or in general), and instead just taking the content from there and putting it on lemmy.
It feels like I’m just kinda sewing lemmy into the human centipede that is content filler. I can see why content does get reposted it’s entertaining and engaging and they propagate.
It does feel like a Pandora’s jar like I’m laying a foundation for a bot army even though I only plan to be small scale
As long as you enable the ‘bot’ tag, so I can block it, it’s fine.
Lemmy needs to stop trying to copy Reddit; community names like Earthporn, Foodporn, F*ckCars etc. Voting is broken on Lemmy because it’s broken on Reddit.
The biggest thing Lemmy needs right now is commenters. We have more than enough news links with no comments.
well that may be true for general news but if you’re looking for a more specific topic it won’t necessarily hold.
I disagree with you since not all of this naming scheme should be used exclusively with reddit.
Some of us moved away from reddit because of enshitfication but we want the content and having the same names for communities is helpful to find relevant content in lemmy.
