I started working on a script that will take top post from subreddits to post then to corresponding c/ on lemmy with various accounts to give the impression of minimal activity.

The idea comes from a lemmy user etting saying they would never want to support reddit with lemmy content (or in general), and instead just taking the content from there and putting it on lemmy.

It feels like I'm just kinda sewing lemmy into the human centipede that is content filler. I can see why content does get reposted it's entertaining and engaging and they propagate.

It does feel like a Pandora's jar like I'm laying a foundation for a bot army even though I only plan to be small scale

FYI, there's many bot accounts already reposting stuff. There was an entire instance previously dedicated to it, though I think it shut down at some point. It was not popular, most people blocked the accounts / instances and they just clogged up the feed for newcomers due to the lack of engagement.
