It seems like these communities are a lot more focused on original content than reddit somehow, unless i’m missing something. Like, Mastodon seems to have loads of bots reposting stuff straight from twitter. I guess i’m wondering why i don’t see more reddit content bots, or shameless reposts. Is it to save server space? Is it just faux pas?

    Ah, I was misunderstanding, I thought you meant reposting between Lemmy communities, rather than reposting from Reddit. Agreed that that seems like a bad idea (and won’t help with getting people to commit to Lemmy).

      I don’t think there’s much need to repost between communities. Click on the main page, and you can see “| Subscribed | Local | All |”, and in ‘all’ you’ll be able to see other Lemmy instances and interact with those communities without making an account there.

      I’m not sure if you can make posts on another instance though…
