Like I get it there's less people so less content but come on, using bots to just repost shit from reddit? What are we, 9gag now?

I haven't quite done so, but part of the modern internet is content sharing, so for like memes, videos, pics, etc. I totally expect it. Think of all the times there was a tweet shared on another platform.

Yeah, by users. We have bots posting just whatever from reddit though.

I've been using a bot for the last 24 hours, only to pull link posts to small communities that need a jump-start. People won't post or stay in a community that has no content, and so far the bot has helped start conversations, and has made the communities more active in just 24 hours.

Once there is enough posting in those communities I'll turn the bot off and focus on a new one. Currently doing this in 3 different communities on lemmy.world, it only posts once an hour, and checks if the link has already been posted.
