Genuine question.
There are tons of niche subs on Reddit that aren’t on Lemmy or don’t have enough people posting. Lemmy could benefit from bots that automatically post Reddit content. Why is this not a thing?

This is the conundrum for users of Reddit or X. There’s so much content in the mega-sites that ya’ll feel it’s worth supporting some of the worst people who own the worst companies.
“But I can’t find this entertainment elsewhere!” only goes so far when engagement means helping line the pockets of our abusers.
I’m not supporting anyone. I use whatever platform I like. I happen to not like Reddit so I wish to use an alternative. Unfortunately it’s very hard to find an alternative. It would be so easy for Lemmy to become that alternative if there was a couple bots filling in the gaps until there is enough users posting of their own.
Why are you here? Just to make a point? Or aren’t you also here for entertainment?
Newsflash: using a platform increases engagement.
What you do is, indeed, up to you. But don’t pretend continuing to use Reddit or birdsite or whatever doesn’t benefit them and proliferate the exact thing you are seeking an alternative for.
You ask if I’m here for entertainment? Yep. Because I don’t value entertainment over supporting someone like Spez and Google AI.
