It seems like these communities are a lot more focused on original content than reddit somehow, unless i’m missing something. Like, Mastodon seems to have loads of bots reposting stuff straight from twitter. I guess i’m wondering why i don’t see more reddit content bots, or shameless reposts. Is it to save server space? Is it just faux pas?

    I should clarify that there’s no karma, because there are very few users. Once there are more people, some users will try to make a bot which farms karma, for the usual reasons.

    Reposting definitely serves some useful function, but too much reposting from Reddit will just make Lemmy feel like a cheap knock-off. At this early stage, I feel like new content and chat works better, but that’s just an intuition.

        I agree the amount of good content that gets missed thanks to people reposting the same content for worthless internet points is shocking
