I've used reposter bots on my hungarian meme community, since I can't make good enough memes and it's really niche. After a popular vote, I have disabled it, but unfortunately now the community is really really slow again.
Honestly, it's so easy to block accounts, so if there's only one bot in you community you should just keep it.
If they don't like it they can block it.
But then the bot serves no purpose but to push away new users who see only the bot content
Interestingly that's what I have observed too, and not just only on my community, but on others too. I think it may correlate with the too frequent posting too. For example my bot was ordered to post every 4 hours which can be overwhelming for the average lemmings fella here.
Right; to my interpretation, a bot post won't convince anyone new to check out a community, and when someone does check out a community they see a series of posts regardless of how far apart in time they are, so the bot doesn't serve to pull in new people in any way
Hmm can agree with that logic. Thank you for sharing your input!
I mean they certainly have the possibility, but maybe they don't know about it or don't wanna hassle with it. Although your point is definitely understandable.
Yeah, the worst thing is in smal and slow communities your comment won't get any replies, and the highest chance of reply is from the op, but if it's a repost bot, there's obviously no chance of that. Just have to hope for organic growth.
Also, there are hun communities? Never found any while on here.
Yes, it's an unfortunate situation, but I was thinking of maybe reviving the bot and making it post really sparsely, like once in 2 days or something like that, but that will require a popular vote again.
Yes, there are some actually, which honestly surprised me a bit:
!hungary@lemmy.world (They collected all the hun communities in a post)
