Reposting Reddit content in bulk to Lemmy (versus individual users reposting their own guides or informational posts) does nothing to organically build communities here, instead leaving a bunch of empty posts that make their communities look dead. It’s a chicken and egg problem, of course, but simply copying Reddit content wholesale isn’t the answer.
Edit: Just want to clarify that I’m not doing any downvotes here, and see the logic in that having the best of the best Reddit content here could help convince some people to look at otherwise dead communities. The problem is that relying on such content encourages Lemmy users to be consumers of content rather than producers in their own right, and therefore think that maximizing opportunities for Lemmy users to contribute in their own right is for the best.
I respectfully disagree. Just limit number of reposts to the most quality upvoted reddit content timely reposted - and you have no problem. Right now I can refresh lemmy 5 times during the day and see the same content
Really? Cause im seeing new stuff all the time. Maybe you need to find more things to subscribe to? Piefed hasva ton they give you the option to subscribe to as well as feeds (groups of like communities you can subscribe to).
Why not simply repost all the content to lemmy and slam the door on reddit

Blocking a few many posters does indeed create this effect , feels great .

You will be surprised if you block about 20 people who post a lot, fediverse then looks completely different.
There’s many bots doing that for some subs…
Someone had a Lemmy instance that did this for quite a while. It’s gone now unfortunately.
