I don't wanna poo poo on this, but there are bots literally just scraping Reddit and reposting all of the content. Big grain of rice here, gents.

I mean bots on reddit are copying reddit to paste it on Reddit. In the future bots on Lemmy will copy Lemmy posts and paste it on Lemmy too. that's just how reddit and lemmy works

That is not how it needs to work.

If that brings in content, why not? After all what is much of Reddit? Just posts of content outside of Reddit as well.

As Lemmy increases in subscribers, I suspect scraping Reddit will decrease anyhow.
