Lemmy isn't reddit. This isn't the way to grow a community.
Thanks for this post
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Thanks for this post
Same here, we can build this community the old fashioned way by just sharing and engaging ❤️
Yeah there's more than enough of a constant stream of posts already lol
Yeah it's fucking annoying that people think they need to repost content from reddit to keep a community active
For those that do think that post here on lemmmy you numbskulls
It's not even active. Every post I've seen has had 0 interaction.
I noticed it posting like r/buildapc stuff; folks asking questions about how motherboards work and such.
Like, I could see mirroring r/news or something where people are posting news articles. But technical questions? If anyone on Lemmy answers the question, the original author won't read it.
I never actually used r/ideacancer for anything but I think I might just open a community for it.
I blocked all the Reddit communities and instances. Lemmy needs to be it's own thing which require community involvement, not reposting shit posts from Reddit.
Can't get the profile to load (probably a Connect for Lemmy app or server load issue). What's the bot's username?
Thank you, kind internet stranger
gotta start manual before botting, learn the rules, not all of them are written somewhere.
