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.
its a chicken and the egg issue - no content no users. give them at least content and then users will come
I’m not here for content. I’m here for interaction. Repost bots are all noise no signal from that perspective. Similarly a thousand users who lurk are less important to me than a single user who remembers me across threads (probably as “that guy who doesn’t believe in [linear time | disbanding the Electoral Collage | Ohio being part of the Midwest | the superiority of the metric system]”).
oh my lord. people - if there is no content, there is not going to be people to interact with. its that simple
chicken and the egg - solve the egg problem and you will get the chicken.
You keep asserting this in the face of multiple people telling you otherwise. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong — but it certainly doesn’t mean you’re right, either.
im not alone, many people say they are lemmy native, but just have separate accounts and use reddit. thats ok.
