I noticed there’s a lot of " This is an automated archive made by the Lemmit Bot." Post. And I am wondering why?
I dont really understand why these are popular. The bots are only copying the OP Post and not the comments.

But why? We can’t interact with it at all? It’s like copy pasting a book.
Would work better if it’s both way. Bot bridging all the content from reddit to lemmy and vice versa. It might work for some smaller subreddits at least.
Not OP, but one benefit I can see (at least, some will think it a benefit, others will freak) is to let Lemmy have the glut of data that Reddit has. This way Reddit refugees will see Lemmy as empty in comparison
It’s a stopgap for people who want to fully switch to lemmy but don’t have all the communities they need yet. I’m finding news to be especially lacking, for example. I’d love to be able to put up a second account with some r/o access to reddit communities to get headlines and know what I need to seek out and get informed about.
I don’t use Reddit for the interaction, average Redditors are annoying to interact with. Reddit’s value to me is the amount of information it contains. It’s supposed to be like copy pasting a book that has DRM, so you can make use of the content without worrying that the book’s copyright holder will use it to screw you over eventually.
