When posting in communities in the instance please follow the automation guidelines (Section 2 and 3 match the most) https://legal.programming.dev/docs/automation-guidelines/

Notably the section that says 75% of recent content should be human created not automatic and accounts with automation should be marked as such

It tends to make each individual post do worse as well when theyre spammed like this at once

edit: Just saying this here for transparency, I removed half of the posts so that theres 9 now instead of 19. Leaving the rest this time but if theres more feed spam I would be reducing that to match the guidelines more instead of leaving a bunch like here (mods of the community can determine whether to handle this batch more but this clears up the general instance feeds)

Hey. My bad I was testing something. This was not automatic though. There is approval moderation queue and posts are all human reviewed

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 10 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

that still automatically pulls the content even if its manually reviewed which makes it go out much faster than any people manually making memes would be able to post at

just space things out so youre not doing more than a couple a day here and dont just copy titles and stuff 1 for 1

Just a measure to make sure this stays a human zone and not bots spamming everyones post feeds for all the different communities without any sort of curation

Yeah, I don’t mind the bots pulling stuff over in an effort to generate a bit of a network effect, but I deleted my comment after I realized my entire home screen is filled with this guy‘s posts.

I spoke prematurely and for that apologies. Some moderation discussion def needed and it seems they understand.

Carry on. Ignore my old man grumpy sass.

The problem is that Reddit is many orders of magnitude larger than Lemmy. r/comics has 1.5 mio weekly visitors. All of Lemmy combined has just ~50k monthly visitors.

One repost bot alone can swamp all of Lemmy, totally drowning out everything else. The biggest issue there is that it's dead content. The thing that makes something like Reddit or Lemmy better than just a random webcomics feed is the comments. So if a ton of non-organic content gets reposted, that dilutes the comments too much meaning that people don't actually see eachother's comments any more and thus no discussions happen.

This is all human reviewed posts. Not automatic. Just trying to find a way and bump lemmy userbase count after pigboi messed with reddit mobile browser experience. I don't want to use reddit anymore. I just want to bring reddit with me
