Lemmy, AITA for disliking copied content from Reddit in the AmITheAsshole community?
So, I get that someone is trying to populate this community with posts using the lemmit.online bot. And that the vast majority of us are coming from Reddit. And that AITA is a staple community that we’re used to seeing in our feeds.
However, it seems like that just copying content into an otherwise empty community is just feeding a sterile wasteland. There is almost no engagement on the copied posts, and worse: I think it will smother any actual new content that gets posted in this wasteland of copied content. (I stand corrected, after trying to post this there I found out that only mods have priveleges to post. It’s worse than I thought, and I’ll probably just block it from my feed if it’s only a Reddit echo chamber)
What do you think, AITA?
Personally I just blocked the bot.
As a mobile app user, I haven’t figured out how to do that yet. Memmy has the option but I don’t know if it actually works.
Go to the site on web browser and block it there. It won’t show up on your app afterwards
Thanks for the tip! I found an app (wefwef) to literally replace my habits from the Good Place and haven’t bothered to actually learn much about this place yet.
Yeah I started out with wefwef, it’s really good. I’ve switched over to Memmy now as I find it better replicates my Apollo experience on iOS, but a solid +1 for wefwef
Yea i keep going between memmy and wefwef, haven’t looked at mlem in a while. Wefwef has some weird performance glitches and memmy keeps getting better so may have to make memmy my main again, we’ll see!
