I mostly agree, but there is a risk of overwhelming the new and relatively small communities of fediverse with a lot of links without any comments/discussion. Is there a way to filter the content according to their reddit ratings. That would help fetching more interesting stuff.
It would stand to reason that if there is discussion on the original reddit thread, that it would also generate discussion here too.
Community is much smaller on this side of the fence, though.
Honestly reddit is about 100 times too big now. Most comments on major threads go unseen. It was plenty big enough 16 years ago for lots of good discussion, way better than today to be honest. Now it's just about who can get the quickest quip in. Actual discussion is pretty lacking on reddit.
I'm not trying to say "bigger is better." The point I'm trying to make is: if a bot starts flooding lemmy communities with myriad of links, then it will be more difficult for a smaller community to make sense of it. There will be lots of communities that has many links without comments. It will start looking like a dead village. So, it would be better if only the real interesting stuff (with high ratings) are brought in. That way, fediverse communities would have a better place to start from.
