Some people set things up like this on Mastodon, bots that reposted things from Twitter. Personally, I don't love them.
When everyone left Digg and got on Reddit back in the day, no one set up bots to automatically repost things from Digg to Reddit... it wouldn't even have been helpful, because people just stopped posting nearly as much stuff on Digg.
I don't like those bots either and make it a point to not follow them. Id say if the OP can't see the people trying to interact with the post, what's the point?
I am a veteran of the Digg migration, the world is very very different then it was back then. For one thing, Reddit was already an established alternative, just with a lower user base then Digg. Lemmy feels much more like building a community completely from scratch.
