What do you think about sublemmies that add content by reposting from Reddit? (self.asklemmy)

Is it a good (probably temporary) way to get content in Lemmy?

This is absolutely the case. Communities need content to aggregate around before the community itself grows to a point where it can become content in its own right.

Reddit itself launched with the founders operating sockpuppet accounts to post content and have conversations, just so that it looked like there was already a community to join and activity happening when early adopters showed up.
