These people invested so much time and effort into their communities, I understand why they are doing all this to keep them

It’s interesting to see people talking about bots flooding some communities with content and others saying there’s not enough.
I created a bot, not to bring posts and comments from reddit but to use reddit as content curator, to bring links that were engaging there on to here.
However some people think theres a difference between users making a post with just a link to a news article or a bot doing it.
I think there’s a use for bots, when the content they bring is external to both reddit and lemmy, and discussion around it is organic.

I’m currently running a bot doing this exactly, some communities might want to get a post more often, that’s why I made mine configurable.

I developed a bot for this purpose, it only crossposts links to external websites like news, it’s being used in a couple of communities that need a little push with content.
It only crosspost 1 post every hour to each community to avoid spamming and it can handle multiple subreddits at the same time.
That’s how I think it should be done, so far, users engage with the posts made by the bot in an organic way.

I’m open to suggestions :)

Helpful to know! Thanks!

Yes and I end up deleting the watch history, I only like videos that will help the algorithm, after a few videos it all goes back to normal

You do have a point tho

Can you share the links to those? Thank you

How is lemmy preparing for it?
