I am actually quite annoyed at the reddit repost bots, they drown out Lemmy content in favour of Reddit reposts…

Exactly. Lemmy is a social media platform, not an archival service. People come here to talk to people, not bots.

I agree. Reddit repost no good. But normal post bot ok, bring in interesting subjects

The repost bots were probably needed to kickstart Lemmy with content, but now I feel like they are preventing a natural growth of the communities.

As it is now I feel that they add a layer of confusion to new members, they have made several Lemmy communities looking like vast empty cities, there are new content, but no people commenting or voting.

If any admin is reading tjis, please consider scaling back the repost bots.

I don’t browse All because of this , but I did sub to simpsonsshitposts and yeah, just that one tends to dominate, even though most of the posts are indeed what it says on the tin, ie stupid worthless crap.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
