You just end up creating an desolate community full of noise, since the op will never see the replies.
It hurts lemmy users who don’t realize this and wonder why there’s no engagement.
For example: https://lemmy.ml/comment/17284093
Blindly copying posts from reddit is not the way to grow a healthy lemmy community.
I did actually toggle the bot flag shortly after it started posting. I’m not sure why it’s not showing for anyone.
Hmm, try toggling it on and off? Maybe it’ll federate?
