This bot seems like a bad idea. It mucks up Lemmy discussions with bot comments in the hope that they get noticed on Mastodon.
Why not have a bot repost to Mastodon so you’re not spamming the people who already saw it?
Because that doesn't allow interaction between communities. Ideally there will eventually be a method to enable this type of interaction without a bot connecting them. In the meantime you can block the bot like I did, and then you only have to see people complaining about it like you did.
How does spamming a Lemmy post with a hashtag help publicize it to Mastodon?
If the point is to make it visible on Mastodon, why not post it there?
