Hey guys. Im trying to fully move to lemmy.
Unfortunately many subreddits I was using - are not represented on lemmy. So I figured I would just sync content from reddit for those communities - so I scripted auto-reposter of top most popular reddit posts to lemmy.

but. im running into issues.

Lemmy communities that sometimes 0 content with last content sometimes posted 2 years ago - they ban me for “spam” when I auto post content even if their lemmy communities literally have no content…

This community just banned me, last post in that community was 2 years ago:
https://lemmy.ml/c/buildapcsales

What are they even moderating?
I cannot make this shit up.

Anyways - I would rather do my own server then deal with mods worse than on reddit that actually allows that.

Starting lemmy server - which hardware to get? Dedi? ram? cpu?
What does lemmy.world uses? Thank you.

    Its a user volume issue. Reality is, Lemmy just isnt at scale like Reddit in users. Comment, post, vote - make it active. Give people a reason to stick around and engage.

    But I’d agree i dont want a bot just funneling Reddit to Lemmy. Im here, rather than Reddit, by intent

        I’m not here for content. I’m here for interaction. Repost bots are all noise no signal from that perspective. Similarly a thousand users who lurk are less important to me than a single user who remembers me across threads (probably as “that guy who doesn’t believe in [linear time | disbanding the Electoral Collage | Ohio being part of the Midwest | the superiority of the metric system]”).

          oh my lord. people - if there is no content, there is not going to be people to interact with. its that simple

            You keep asserting this in the face of multiple people telling you otherwise. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong — but it certainly doesn’t mean you’re right, either.

      look - I want to talk to humans as well.
      but if there is no content - then what are you even talking about .

      95% of reddit users dont post content, they just browse existing content. Im sure similar distribution at lemmy.

      At lemmy - if there is no content to even browse - people will go back to reddit.
      I 100% believe for 90% of communities here - " bot just funneling Reddit to Lemmy" is a 1000% improvement over no content at all.
      at least people can then just shitpost in comments instead of just going back to reddit.

          hey thats your opinion and you are entitled to it.

          me - I will choose reddit reposts on lemmy, while using good lemmy apps without ads over empty lemmy community.

          at least there is a build out chance

            Such an awful idea. Again, reddit got big because people posted, not because a bot grabbed crap from another discussion site.

            So simply post things.

              not working. look lemmy is 5+ years old. its pretty stagnant. we need explosive growth for people to start leaving reddit.

                Do you remember reddit at 5? Its not that much different. Why would you want to bring all the garbage that is reddit here?

                Just post, generate a community. Thats how it works.

                You can have your own site that is just a mirror of reddit, but that effectively empty users and/or garbage posts. People leave reddit beacuse it sucks, and now you want to jump straight to making lemmy suck.

                  all the garbage that is reddit her

                  just use filtering. just auto repost most upvoted content.

                  Just post, generate a community. Thats how it works.
                  I dont have the amount of time to redo all that work that people that post to https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ already done. this is absolutely pointless menial work nobody wants to do

                Yeah, but it first has to be more user accessible. Its not as user friendly as a site like Reddit to just log in and get going.

                Bots just posting Reddit are not what the site needs. If people here wanted Reddit, theyd be on Reddit. Honestly super simple to understand that

                  we are tired of playing cat and mouse with reddit.
                  I want reddit content , just not on reddit

                  its that simple - not everyone is like you

        There are more options than either automatically funneling Reddit posts to Lemmy, or not posting at all.

        Have you even considered manually contributing your own posts and insights? I would much rather engage on a post posted with intent behind it, rather than a Reddit post copied to Lemmy by a bot.
