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 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!!!
Agreed. Nobody is interacting with the posts either, just taking up space. I’d prefer less posts with more engagement.
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.
