I have disabled it for myself but want to know what others have experienced.

    The whole drive to recreate every single subreddit by any means necessary is misguided. Lemmy should be its own place, not a facsimile of Reddit.

      Exactly, people will always keep creating something. Just need an open ground to show it to others.

      I don’t think it’s wrong to recreate a beloved community, and I think it makes sense to also populate it with content. I just think that posting a copy of Reddit is a problem, and automated posts too often are also not good. At that point you’re trying to force the community into existence rather than having it be organic. I think it’s okay to boost the community a bit, but not to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit.

      I will say that Lemmy in general seems very Reddit-like, which is what causes people to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit, so I’m not surprised that people are just trying to migrate subreddits to communities here. I think Lemmy needs a bit more of an identity to avoid that.
