Im sure many people want that. I dont want empty communities - thats why lemmy is stuck in tiny userbase without any growth.
explain it to me - what purpose is a community with last post 2 years ago? Why does it even exist if noone uses it?
A community full of bot posted reddit content is still, for all intents and purposes, an empty community.
and I respectfully disagree.
95% of people are commenters and not post creators.
when Im as a commenter come to community without posts - I leave. itsded. there is nothing for me to do .
when im as a commenter come to community with reddit reposts - I immediately see content and I can comment, the world is my oyster.
I tried setting up a bot to auto-post from an rss feed for sports stuff a few years back, and it made a lot of people very unhappy and got my bot banned pretty quick. Nocturne is right— there honestly just isn’t demand for bot-posted content; people would rather nothing than automated posting 🤷♂️
im sorry - but im dead set on leaving reddit. if they want to ban me -its their call, I will create my own instance - thats the topic here
I definitely think your own instance is the right move here, and you can post whatever you want to your own instance. I don't want you to hear me saying "you shouldn't do this," but instead hear me saying "please don't be offended when you find your efforts are not well received."
