Genuine question.

There are tons of niche subs on Reddit that aren’t on Lemmy or don’t have enough people posting. Lemmy could benefit from bots that automatically post Reddit content. Why is this not a thing?

    There’s literally tons of bots that post Reddit content on Lemmy. To the point that I get extremely annoyed at the vast number of them.

    To say nothing all the people who scour Reddit for content to post here.

      Fortunately in your user account config you can hide posts and replies made by properly marked bot accounts.

      I know a couple. Didn’t know there are that many. Are they marked in some way to recognize they are bots?

        There are a couple entire instances that consist of nothing but Reddit cross post communities and there is no interaction. They are almost not even a part of Lemmy proper.
