Hey guys. Im trying to fully move to lemmy.
Unfortunately many subreddits I was using - are not represented on lemmy. So I figured I would just sync content from reddit for those communities - so I scripted auto-reposter of top most popular reddit posts to lemmy.

but. im running into issues.

Lemmy communities that sometimes 0 content with last content sometimes posted 2 years ago - they ban me for “spam” when I auto post content even if their lemmy communities literally have no content…

This community just banned me, last post in that community was 2 years ago:
https://lemmy.ml/c/buildapcsales

What are they even moderating?
I cannot make this shit up.

Anyways - I would rather do my own server then deal with mods worse than on reddit that actually allows that.

Starting lemmy server - which hardware to get? Dedi? ram? cpu?
What does lemmy.world uses? Thank you.

    Im sure many people want that. I dont want empty communities - thats why lemmy is stuck in tiny userbase without any growth.
    explain it to me - what purpose is a community with last post 2 years ago? Why does it even exist if noone uses it?

      A community full of bot posted reddit content is still, for all intents and purposes, an empty community.

        and I respectfully disagree.
        95% of people are commenters and not post creators.

        when Im as a commenter come to community without posts - I leave. itsded. there is nothing for me to do .
        when im as a commenter come to community with reddit reposts - I immediately see content and I can comment, the world is my oyster.

      I tried setting up a bot to auto-post from an rss feed for sports stuff a few years back, and it made a lot of people very unhappy and got my bot banned pretty quick. Nocturne is right— there honestly just isn’t demand for bot-posted content; people would rather nothing than automated posting 🤷‍♂️

          I definitely think your own instance is the right move here, and you can post whatever you want to your own instance. I don’t want you to hear me saying “you shouldn’t do this,” but instead hear me saying “please don’t be offended when you find your efforts are not well received.”
