TwoafrosIs there a way to mirror corporate social media to the Fediverse?
PeerTube has that built in. You can set up a channel and have it import or mirror a Youtube channel. For Lemmy there’s several bots and scripts. As other people said that’s what lemmit.online is about.
Be a bit careful when rolling this out. Several people don’t like it. They’ve left Reddit for a reason and this is drowning them in bot activity. And usually these posts are low engagement, Reddit users can’t see the comments, so you’re not getting a lot of answers. I think it’s good practice how we here have separated that to dedicated instances, so users can just have genuine conversations everywhere else.
Die4EverYea, bot posts screw up our posts:comments ratio
They make a ton of posts but we don’t have enough commenters to hit all of them. What few comments they do get are spread out across different posts so there’s no back and forth conversation, engagement dies.
and seeing a bunch of posts with 0 comments or OP not responding causes users to leave Lemmy
Yes. And I’ve seen people do really weird (and worse) stuff, like re-post questions. And if you’re unaware of that, you’re bound to take 10mins out of your day to answer the product or Linux or life question and later find out you were ripped off. At least that’s how it feels to me if people fabricate that kind of activity. And it kills the mood to write comments for a while.
