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?
I should clarify that there’s no karma, because there are very few users. Once there are more people, some users will try to make a bot which farms karma, for the usual reasons.
Reposting definitely serves some useful function, but too much reposting from Reddit will just make Lemmy feel like a cheap knock-off. At this early stage, I feel like new content and chat works better, but that’s just an intuition.
No, theres no karma because we dont need that stupid system on Lemmy
I agree the amount of good content that gets missed thanks to people reposting the same content for worthless internet points is shocking
“Female humans of reddit with big boobs: whats the sexiest sex you’ve ever sexed with a big dick epok gamer in your pussying pussy?”
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…
