I was wondering if people like these, because I see a lot of them on my feed in Hot and while they can be interesting, they all tend to have 0 comments on them, whereas lemmy posts will always have more.
I think I would like the posts more if people did comment on them, for example AITA, ELI5 and a few others don’t really function as well without them.
AitA, ELI5 etc. only really works when OP is actually on the platform and can read the comments. Shoveling those via bots into the Fediverse is just spam imho.
Agreed. Why do we need every single post from Reddit to be migrated to the Fediverse? It would be better to just have a similar community and get actual engagement.
I agree for the questions and text-based posts, I don’t see a point in copying those out of Reddit since we cant interact with the OP. News and links can be useful in certain cases. I’m currently subscribed to Lemmit’s gamedeals and buildapcsales - once their equivalents on Lemmy grows and matures I’ll unsubscribe from those Lemmit communities.
I dislike bot posts from everywhere. I prefer real people.
I understand wanting to replicate chunks of Reddit, but a lot of the bot posts are useless. I’m not inclined to respond to an AITA or ELI5 that’s just a copy paste from a bot.
The person who asked the question isn’t here. They’re on Reddit. The bot is just letting me know that someone asked a question on Reddit. The person, most likely, will have no clue that someone here is replying.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the bots and they’re a two way - copy pasting from reddit to here and copy pasting our responses to reddit, but from what I’ve seen, that’s not the case.
I get the idea and it could be good. But my feed gets absolutely flooded by them sometimes, and it clogs everything up
e. Blocking this user/bot specifically has massively helped
