Lemmy, AITA for disliking copied content from Reddit in the AmITheAsshole community? (midwest.social)

So, I get that someone is trying to populate this community with posts using the lemmit.online bot. And that the vast majority of us are coming from Reddit. And that AITA is a staple community that we’re used to seeing in our feeds.

However, it seems like that just copying content into an otherwise empty community is just feeding a sterile wasteland. There is almost no engagement on the copied posts, and worse: I think it will smother any actual new content that gets posted in this wasteland of copied content. (I stand corrected, after trying to post this there I found out that only mods have priveleges to post. It’s worse than I thought, and I’ll probably just block it from my feed if it’s only a Reddit echo chamber)

What do you think, AITA?

Yeah I started out with wefwef, it’s really good. I’ve switched over to Memmy now as I find it better replicates my Apollo experience on iOS, but a solid +1 for wefwef

Yea i keep going between memmy and wefwef, haven’t looked at mlem in a while. Wefwef has some weird performance glitches and memmy keeps getting better so may have to make memmy my main again, we’ll see!
