The repost bots were probably needed to kickstart Lemmy with content, but now I feel like they are preventing a natural growth of the communities.

As it is now I feel that they add a layer of confusion to new members, they have made several Lemmy communities looking like vast empty cities, there are new content, but no people commenting or voting.

If any admin is reading tjis, please consider scaling back the repost bots.
