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?
Agreed. Nobody is interacting with the posts either, just taking up space. I’d prefer less posts with more engagement.
That’s why I unsubed worldnews. Too much bot spam for my liking.
Guh! I just did the same. 10:1 all the posts were from that community. Didn’t even realize it’s all bot-posted.
You mean you don’t want an update on what’s happening in Palestine every 30 seconds?
RUSSIA! REDDIT! TITANIC!
Check out https://lemmy.world/c/moderate_politics we are trying to be a more informed, discussion oriented community. Please stop by!
I don’t like it. There’s no one on the other end, the reason I’m here.
It feels unnatural to me. We don’t need to force interaction when we’re all here to do it.
Plus I’m still mostly sorting by new. They clog it up.
Edit: it’s impossible to sort by new now, because of all those damned lemmit posts!!!
Sorry but I don’t agree with this logic. Smaller communities are more susceptible to drought. Content is a water supply. I moderate a magazine for The Office (woo woo, shout out) and I bring in content from Reddit as often as I can. It’s a temporary measure to increase the legitimacy of the site.
It litters people’s feeds with content devoid of interaction that there’s no point in interacting with. It funnels them back to Reddit. It is a mistake.
If you can get the content of a post and post it, that’s good. RSS bots are cool. If you can pull the image/link and title from reddit and post it you’ve got a good recipe. Right now I’m seeing a lot of lemmit and other bots just posting straight links to reddit posts, this is a counterproductive waste of time.
