I started working on a script that will take top post from subreddits to post then to corresponding c/ on lemmy with various accounts to give the impression of minimal activity.

The idea comes from a lemmy user etting saying they would never want to support reddit with lemmy content (or in general), and instead just taking the content from there and putting it on lemmy.

It feels like I’m just kinda sewing lemmy into the human centipede that is content filler. I can see why content does get reposted it’s entertaining and engaging and they propagate.

It does feel like a Pandora’s jar like I’m laying a foundation for a bot army even though I only plan to be small scale

    There’s an explicit flag that can be toggled on every account to mark them as bots. If you’re acting in good faith that flag should definitely be toggled.
