Somebody already mentioned that, and I mentioned how all the communities are all locked and literally only the bot can post.
It also appears to only mirror reddit, with no connection to other lemmy instances.
This is not what I am talking about adding.
That’s not true. There’s one bot that routinely posts to news communities called “MicroWave” and there are consistently people engaging with its posts.
Most people don’t even recognize it’s a bot.
For a most niches on lemmy, there aren’t alternative communities that are more active.
As I’ve said before, these communities already have nobody engaging in them. Hiding posts from bots will also hide posts from this bot.
Thanks. This is interesting, but it looks like all of the communities are locked and only the bot gets to post.
I’m also referring to something that just copies the posts, but doesn’t include the comments for either side.
It probably doesn’t make much sense to mirror /r/technology to /c/technology since that community is already popular and self-sustaining on lemmy.
There are countless other ‘niche’ communities that have no posts for months, however. There already isn’t anyone engaging in these communities and it’s unlikely that that will change because nobody wants to manually make posts that next to nobody is going to see. It’s cyclical.
Framework laptops are overpriced and underspecced.
Yeah.
I recommend not letting the “wisdom of the crowd” dictate your decisions in the computing space, even with Linux.
Most of these people don’t really know what they’re talking about and are doing whatever they think will make them look good in front of their peers.
Try to see things for yourself and gain your own knowledge. Theory is no substitute for experience, but the average computer user doesn’t understand that.
