Hi, I have a community on lemmy.ml where I have a bot that reposts stuff from Reddit. It got banned though because it turns out reddit reposts aren't allowed on there. Does sopuli have a similar rule or could I migrate my Reddit repost community to here?

Thanks!

On my opinion there is no need for reposting Reddit content, the content would be better posted straight here.

I agree it would be better if people posted straight here, but the subreddit I was reposting only has a few members here on Lemmy which is not enough to create regular posts. The reposts of my bot did get upvotes and some comments though so the few members did seem to like it. If you would rather not have my bot repost to sopuli though, I will not do it.

If there is a cool article you saw on Reddit, I support listing it here and adding your own discussion.

Posting, or worse, bot-posting links to Reddit posts is a bad idea for reasons already said here.

I agree. There's plenty of repost-bots for different platforms and those posts generally don't create any discussion. They just gather some upvotes and that's it. No additional conversation nor anything other useful rarely sparks from those posts.

Plus they would likely clog up the database.
