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.

      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

      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.
