  • If you prefer that Lemmy stays small and eventually dies because of a lack of content then it's your problem, don't make it mine.
    Only people subscribed to these communities will see these posts, except in the local feed if your instance hasn't defederated with lemmit.
    If there's only one bot who mentions in his posts that you can block him, then your issue is solved as well as mine, and Lemmy will become as attractive as Reddit. Can't believe your opinion has so much support, it's like you'd prefer Lemmy to stay insignificant.

  • The latter
    But thanks, i didn't know about lemmit even if i read about the different instances before, it's still a bit hard to find communities of interest(, but not anymore than with reddit, youtube, twitter, facebook, discord, etc ). I've subscribed to their TIL but the search function for Sync or Jerboa aren't very informative.

  • If a spam is defined as the o.p. not interacting then yes that'd be a spam, but most people are here for the picture or the information, it shouldn't be a debate that reddit's content is more or less the only thing making them superior to Lemmy, the userbase comes afterwards. That'd be an undeniable improvement, we wouldn't "lose" anything anymore by coming over to Lemmy.
    And thanks for the advice, i subscribed to TIL, that was exactly what i was looking for, but there's not a lot of subreddits(, edit : on the contrary, there's a lot of them, more visible on a computer, but if you're reading this comment and are interested, as a reminder you may have forgotten that you can still subscribe to communities belonging to instances your own instance has defederated with, it fortunately has zero impact, only on the local feed).

    So, that's legal apparently.

  • Do you remember their names ?
    If people loved the content on reddit then they would continue to love it on Lemmy, it'd be the same posts, not anymore of a spam here than there, that's not a decisive counter-argument for me but thanks for the reply :)

  • An instance would simply post(, or create a community for each large or interesting-enough subreddits that doesn't already exist here,) every day all the posts from the last 24 hours, with the same title and the same picture. A simple bot should be able to do the trick without accessing the a.p.i.(, or even so by paying less than a personal app since it would be a single "person"(bot) making the calls one time per day ; in any case, most likely not a technical problem).
    If it's open and automated to such an extent then it may bring trouble, but if such content is free to be stolen then it should perhaps be done i suppose(, even if reddit won't like it, especially if it's before their first public offering, but probably afterwards as well).

  • I double-checked and you're entirely right, i didn't know that, i've heard many years ago that a single big lightning strike could power a large city for months(, while it's indeed more a matter of minutes, if not less), and thought that it was a technological problem(, and that, e.g., flying devices anchored on the ground to either a portable infrastructure or a nationwide-extended network, could potentially make up for the unreliability and follow the storms, or even perhaps cause them one day).
    Now i understand even better why solar power is preferred, thanks !
