I keep seeing communities which seem to consist of nothing but a bot that reposts stuff from Reddit.

What’s the point? Really? I ain’t posting a comment about a funny thing there. No one seems to post about the the second-hand funny thing here.

Can we please just sever ties with that shithole altogether?

    This is why I don’t think the Lemmy platforms will really grow to Reddit size until we solve this problem. Most folks don’t want to curate their own feed when they first explore a social media platform. That usually comes later after they’ve been drawn in.

    What Lemmy and kbin could really use is a set of default subscriptions that are curated by instance admins to provide the best new user experience.

    For that matter, default block lists wouldn’t be so bad either

      That’s true. It would be cool if we could “subscribe” to a curated block list, sort of like we do with AdBlock plugins.
