Absolutely don’t. Lemmy is ran by volunteers for the people. It doesn’t have corporate backing. You would be filling it with content it doesn’t need and most likely cannot handle.

In general, I really do not like this idea. Lemmy is Lemmy and should not, directly or indirectly, turn into Reddit.

If I wanted to lurk Reddit, I would just do that. Better to stay your separate thing. It is nice to sometimes get news about the other side of the fence.

I think it’s like breaking up with someone and then dedicating yourself to building a weird, soulless android version of your ex.

I think reposting content from reddit is fine, but we don’t need a bot for it. I’d rather see individuals bring over specific posts they think are notable as opposed to automatically copying everything they’ve got.

I’m not entirely against the idea, but also really don’t want to turn the fediverse into the flood of content that is reddit. Maybe some kind of relative upvote filter based bot. Only posts that get some certain percentage of above average number for a given sub, get scraped.

Use what fediverse is good at. Make an instance where these bots reside and anyone who doesn’t want them can just defederate.

Nah. This is a fresh start. It’s been less than a week and theres already so much more content. It’ll grow soon enough. Especially with spez fucking around over there. We want og content here, not all the shit reposts that already plague reddit

It’d be kind of nice to play catch up a bit with the, what, 18 years of content on Reddit

I know it might feel soulless, but having a constant stream of “pre-approved” content isn’t the worst idea
