Anyone else confused about the point of Lemmit.online? (lemmy.one)

From what I can gather, a bot creates communities based on subreddits recommended to them by users, then fills said communities with posts from Reddit. I don't really get the point of this, as 90% of posts it seems are just copied from Reddit but without any of the actual engagement, as the OP didn't post it and no one is commenting. It just seems like clutter and a waste of space, but it's also all over my feed. Anyone else confused?

This is simultaneously funny and terrible, because it is almost certainly how that is going to work. Unless someone starts a "/wibta" ("would I be the asshole") for people to make up imaginary situations. It might not be as good, but at least it wouldn't mean inviting over a lot of assholes.
