Like I get it there’s less people so less content but come on, using bots to just repost shit from reddit? What are we, 9gag now?

    I don’t have a problem with bots mirroring Reddit content as long as it limits itself to not overwhelm Fediverse communities with more content than the people subscribing to it can comment on. Bots should ideally keep an eye on that and throttle themselves on that basis.

      I think the lemmy instance that’s only for reddit reposts is a great way to go about it. You always know what you’re in for if you sub anything there, and it’s not taking up space on other servers.

        Out of curiosity, what Lemmy instances should I be searching up if I DO want reddit reposts in my feed? I haven’t been seeing many myself.

          lemmit.online is one I know of. Each community is a reddit board. It pulls the subs via RSS so there are no comments, just the original post.
