So I'd say the posting frequency here on Lemmy is pretty good then!

Quality over quantity.

Edit: Apparently some people missed the irony.
The reposts are more atrocious here because lemmy can't think of new stuff and resort to classics and to death reposted memes
Or bots that just repost reddit content... or users who repost reddit content.
Damn reddit, they ruined reddit.
I was a bot hunter on reddit and was asked to mod /r/kittengifs because of my ability to find them. There were like 5 legitimate posts in 6 months
How do you track down the sheer number of them so efficiently? You could obviously dig through each one's profile, but that wouldn't work for hundreds or thousands.
Lol. There is no way to do it efficiently. I did it in the way you described every time, and I reported literal thousands to reddit's admins (and never got a single response) and was banned by multiple subreddits because I was "annoying" when I reported bots to sub mods. I also called bots out in comments and provided evidence when I did. Nobody cared.
When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I rolled out. I didn't realize how bad reddit had become and how much I hated the site. I'm much happier here with less content and without a bot infestation. Additionally, I'm sure users, mods, and admins WOULD care if I reported that sort of thing on Lemmy
Tbh I always ignored users like you because they added nothing to the conversation and were annoying.
My usual response was "Neat. Now report it and stop posting and bragging" or people callung the sleuth bot for reposts.
Considering how often Lemmy has posts reposted (I can see the same meme twice or thrice per week in the same community instance. My default sorting is 'rising').
I generally agreed with this sentiment, but the fact that admins and mods didn’t care makes me understand why they felt the need to point it out in the comments.
As long as the mods and admins care about removing bots instead of just wanting an inflated user base I think the comments about bots should stay confined to posts like this one where they are on topic.

That is EXACTLY why I did it. I thought that if I could get more users to report those accounts, and if they did, the mods and admins would do something about it.
Not coincidentally, /r/wholesomememes was the worst of all the subs. The overwhelming majority of obvious organized bot rings were operating there. The mods told me they knew and didn't care because it was an opportunity for users to see content they hadn't seen before (completely missing the point)
Why are you still using reddit
Many niche subreddits, my country specific subreddit. I browse reddit along with lemmy but post only on lemmy.
Because sometimes you need more posts than Lemmy can provide
Sounds like an addiction tbh
Sure is.
Sounds like a wild judgement of another person who you know nothing about.
Not that wild considering they know it is.
Because such was the style at the time.
But now we Lemmy!
So I know my wife still uses Reddit, if the dead internet theory is to be believed either she's a bot or I'm a bot...
Can someone help me click this box?
"A few year away"
Lol, have you tried searching for a "how to" article in the past five years?
I misread that as Lemmy community for the same. Hopefully we are still got a lot of time before it hits us.
... I am somehow completely missing two days worth of memories, completely blank.
I hope it's not related.
No wholesome humans left. Bots are nicer confirmed.
