I noticed thereās 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.

I feel like it would be better to have a dedicated Reddit-mirror instance that instances can choose to federate with.
The issue is mirror posts are not organic which is not conducive to high quality discussion. If a community only gets 10 original posts a day but a mirror bot is dumping well over 1000 posts a day, thatās a problem because the organic content will get drowned out and further disincentivize people from posting and actually growing the community.
Thatās what https://lemmit.online is.
I think it is a great idea to have a bot mirroring Redditās content onto a lemmy instance. But I agree, we donāt need those bots mucking up actual lemmy communities.
