Seems like it would be a good way to funnel content into more niche communities by tying their posts to whatever is posted on a subreddit until they can take off on their own.
Does such a thing exist? If not, making it shouldn't be too difficult. I could probably whip something up real quick and toss it up on a software sharing platform.
Would anyone be interested in something like this? It could actually work really well with Lemmy's option to show/hide bot posts because people could choose if they want to see it at all.
It exists and some Lemmy communities operate that way. It’s not a good idea at all in practice. For example one community mirrors a tech support subreddit. It’s utterly pointless engaging in that community because the person asking the question will never read your answers. You can’t bootstrap a sense of community.
It probably doesn't make much sense to mirror /r/technology to /c/technology since that community is already popular and self-sustaining on lemmy.
There are countless other 'niche' communities that have no posts for months, however. There already isn't anyone engaging in these communities and it's unlikely that that will change because nobody wants to manually make posts that next to nobody is going to see. It's cyclical.
True, but from experience, those cycles are not broken by bot posts. You then have a community full of crossposts with 0 comments. Try it if you like, but usually the reason for dead communities is a lack of interested people.
There are countless other 'niche' communities that have no posts for months, however.
Hey, have you seen !fedigrow@lemmy.zip? It's got a lot of discussions on how to handle this.
I think that to grow a niche community, you need at least 2-3 regular posters, and you need to make posts that encourage discussion (i.e. ask questions or provoke a thoughtful reaction that readers would like to share.)
There are whole instances dedicated to mirroring Reddit. However a lot of people on the fediverse oppose such features, on my home instance eg. lemmit is filtered out of /all stream. lemmit.online/
You are right, this is a 1:1 mirror of Reddit without any Lemmy user interactions. Since it is a one way mirror, any comments would not reach Reddit, I assume this is why it was decided to keep the communities closed down in such a way.
They exist. In some communities they may work but IMO a lot of times they hurt community engagement, since no one really wants to reply to an autogenerated OP or join a community that's a wall of empty bot posts.
It's easy to make one. But why would you want that?
As time goes by and more and more people join the Fediverse, I'm sure some niche comms will start taking off. I don't like bots mirroring content from somewhere else, even as a help. In fact, I will immediately unsubscribe from any comm that starts doing that. And I'm sure many people also would.
That's not true. There's one bot that routinely posts to news communities called "MicroWave" and there are consistently people engaging with its posts.
A huge thing that real posts have but bot posts do not have: comments notify the OP and thus have a good chance of getting a response. The bot communities almost never get comments, and even if they do it's extra rare for them to get a reply.
If I didn't care about human-to-human comments then I wouldn't be here or on Reddit, I would just use RSS feeds, or the Google news feed.
This already exists, I have seen it used before, don't know any exact repositories though. The reason it's not really used is because it's pointless. What are you trying to achieve with it? Your community won't look more active if it has more posts with zero upvotes and zero comments all made by the same user.
Hiding posts from bots will also hide posts from this bot.
Keep in mind that not everyone here uses Lemmy, so a Lemmy feature isn't a good defense in a federated world like this.
There are rss bots that post stuff on lemmy, like for hackernews. And then as another user mentioned there are some servers like 50501 that mirror reddit and cross post to lemmy.
I think the general problem with such things is.... they post a lot of shit. Sure the top content within a community -might- be interesting but you're also going to get pointless junk that just fills up the fediverse. Not to mention the other issues with lack of interaction. I think the unfortunate reality is that the long term best thing for the community is hand curating content and posting it yourself. I say unfortunate because that's more work than a bot, but you'll be better able to grow a community. Plus some people like me will just block any bot i see because they generally are a waste of my time
Yeah I remember when people were "backing up" subreddits here and mostly just created a shitload of dead posts that the original OP had no idea existed
❝ !!! Warning about Fake Holocaust Posts Using AI- Generated Images and Stories !!! [...] they are in fact dangerous distortions: * They invent stories of people who never existed and present them as real victims. * THEY EXPLOIT HOLOCAUST MEMORY FOR CLICKS, SHARES, AND REACH * They contribute to confusion and the erosion of historical accuracy. [...] Therefore, we ask you to be cautious. [...] * Try to verify names through trusted sources, like Yad Vashem ❞
⁉️ 'Roza Anholt-Delden' is included in collections.yadvashem.org/en/n…: "Gender: UNKNOWN" and no photograph is included. Either Dani Dayan {1} is too lazy or he was not allowed {2} to store her picture in your databases and use it for Hasbara purposes - which he did on social media anyway (nobody will notice? I just did).
⁉️ 'Christina Anholt' is included in collections.yadvashem.org/en/n… *and* a photograph is included. She MAY BE the same girl as the baby in Roza's arms, but I'm not sure. Help!
{1} Dani Dayan is Auschwitz deputy chairman as well as Yad Vashem and IHRA chairman. He is THE (or one of the) architect(s) of the Israeli "From the river to the sea" masterplan (see infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat…) - which consists of abusing Holicaust victims and radically modify the definition of AntiSemitism, as confirmed by Gideon S'aar in holocaustremembrance.com/news/…: "The new antisemites attack Israel’s right to exist and its right to defend itself." It has nothing to do with "self defence". The aim is greater Israel without room for Palestinians.
This is 100% self defence of Hamas, also defending ANYONE who POSSIBLY MAY HAVE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HAMAS - proven, supposedly or not at all.
Surrendering and/or handing over all 50 hostages means a horrific death for even more Gazans than is taking place right under our eyes RIGHT NOW.
Note this all takes place while Israel holds 100,000 as many Palestinians hostage (5 MILLION PEOPLE) - which the western world knowingly ignores, or even publicly denies.
If HAMAS is a terrorist organisation, then what is ISRAEL?
And what are Israel's unconditional supporters - the US, GB, EU, CA, AU, and NZ?
What are Westbank settlers (no Hamas there)?
What kind of a person is former YESHA (*) leader, greater Israel architect (and himself Westbank settler) Dani Dayan? What inhumane liars are the IHRA (chaired by Dani Dayan)? And what is the Auschwitz Council (hijacked by ultra-Zionists including deputy chair Dani Dayan) and Yad Vashem ("remember" Jews only - chaired by Dani Dayan)?
(*) "From the river to the sea" - myesha.org.il/?CategoryID=419 ("YESHA" includes Gaza, which has been unmentioned - but is expected to return soon), Unicode characters inserted by me: ❝ 🚨 Yesha Council Strategic Objectives 🚨 🔸 To secure the borders of the State of Israel 🔸 To safeguard Israel's strategic expanses–between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea 🔸 To ensure Israel's right to the Land by strengthening Israeli settlement in Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley
🚨 Yesha Council Goals 🚨 🔸 Application of Israeli sovereignty in the area 🔸 One million Israelis living in Judea, Samaria,and the Jordan Valley 🔸 The development of roads, transportation, water, electricity and economic infrastructures 🔸 To double the number of tourists from all over the world and all religions 🔸 To prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea
🚨 Our Challenge 🚨 🔸 Construction and development of infrastructures in Israel are based on regional planning and national master plans (TAMA). 🔸 Despite the continually growing and developing Israeli settlement of Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley, these areas have not been included in TAMA plans for over 50 years. 🔸 Without master plans for the area, Palestinian and European initiatives are taking root, thus endangering the continuation of the Zionist enterprise. 🔸 Our aim is to create master plans for the area to enable and ensure sustainable settlement. ❞
