I sort by all and new and have seen a fair amount of posts from bots bringing over content from Reddit. A lot of it doesn't have much if any engagement on here and as far as I can tell even if there was it wouldn't cross back and forth between the two platforms.
The communities these bots are posting to seem to have a low amount of subscribers and with the flood of content it seems a bit like a ghost town. Almost like subscribing to the RSS feed of a subreddit.
I'm not up in arms about it. The posts are being made by only a couple of bots into subreddit specific communities (ex. AskReddit) and Lemmy gives you the ability to block communities so this isn't really showing up in my feed anymore.
The only possible issue I could see in the future is if Lemmy communities tried to link with a subreddit's. For example an instance's pc gaming community with /r/PCGaming.
I'm curious to hear how you feel about Reddit content automatically (or even manually) being posted here.
Not a fan. If it gets too much I might temporarily block those instances.
Also I have some concerns that it is being reposted with the username of the OP attached. Basically taking that user's right to be forgotten away.
I didn't consider that. Looking at the Lemmy version of /r/TIFU for example it does quote the entirety of the text and I don't think the bot is programmed to update posts for edits so even changing the text to show a filler/place holder "Deleted" text wouldn't do anything.
