It reminds me how Imgur is often discussing images that were uploaded for Reddit and OP will never know about all the comments.

    I’ve left subs that seem to be largely a bot reposting Reddit content. The posts seem to get no comments and it all feels a bit empty and soulless. Plus, if we want to be something other than a straight Reddit clone then copying Reddit posts over here doesn’t seem the way to do it.

      I’m worried that people think I’m a bot because I like to post articles and don’t get much discussion usually.

      I’m not sourcing them from reddit though.

        Yeah, I have that fear so have been throttling back my posting. I wouldn’t worry as the examples I am thinking of are pretty obvious like malelivingspace@lemmit.online. That instance has a community where you can request communities and a bot starts them. At least in this case, there is a bot that just imports the posts from the relevant sub.
