I started working on a script that will take top post from subreddits to post then to corresponding c/ on lemmy with various accounts to give the impression of minimal activity.

The idea comes from a lemmy user etting saying they would never want to support reddit with lemmy content (or in general), and instead just taking the content from there and putting it on lemmy.

It feels like I’m just kinda sewing lemmy into the human centipede that is content filler. I can see why content does get reposted it’s entertaining and engaging and they propagate.

It does feel like a Pandora’s jar like I’m laying a foundation for a bot army even though I only plan to be small scale

    we have more than enough activity on lemmy without reddit trash.

    Only if you are talking about the stuff from the popular subreddit. I had 40+ subreddits I used to follow, none of the Lemmy counterparts see relevant activity.

      Honestly adding spam to small communities only makes them worse, I like how on lemmy small communities are genuine and have a handful of real posters not bots spamming trash. We don’t need infinite content for every niche so you can scroll forever.
