Most postings on lemmy are simply Reddit “archive” bots. Why is this so prevalent?

    Lemmit is a scourge. They claim to be trying to “bootstrap” Lemmy by providing content but so much of it is questions with no responses (on Lemmy) or Imgur links to deleted images.

      I honestly wish the major instances would ban repost bots. We don’t need to literally copy Reddit to Lemmy. It’s just polluting it.
