I’m curious if anyone here actually finds value in the reddit posts brought over by lemmit.online, since I’d like to defederate from it otherwise.

It feels actively harmful to lemmy, since so many of the posts it brings over are questions that the original poster will never see. It encourages a conversation that will never happen, so if someone does reply they’re going to feel disengaged.

The bot rarely gets any upvotes or engagement, and I suspect a majority of people (like myself) have just blocked it. TBH I forgot it existed until Tesseract showed me its posts again.

    Exactly, and that is one reason why Sopuli defederated from that instance. Having things posted straight to Lemmy would be better instead of clumsy crossposting from Reddit.
