I think it’s great that so many people want to build and grow Lemmy, but why are we doing it by copying over Reddit content? It didn’t seem as bad when it was funny pics or memes or whatever, but now I’m seeing discussion threads, which doesn’t make sense to me.

I can kind of see it if a Reddit mod decides to move their forum from there to here, and wants to start with their existing content, but otherwise I’m not sure this is a good thing.

What do you guys think?

    I’m doing it with communities that need a jump start, and it seems to be sparking conversation in those posts. However, I’m not grabbing discussions for them to come over.

    Edit: also trying not to spam, it checks top posts once an hour, and only will post one link an hour to each sub.
