There seems to be an annoying assumption in Lemmy communities that the best way to grow is to duplicate how it worked on Reddit.

Reddit’s r/nba has hundreds of thousands or millions of readers. Their system can support lots of game-day threads because they have the numbers.

I log onto this community and I’m turned off. There are too many bot threads and not enough critical mass of discussion. Before the bots, it was better because there were only a few threads so at least people felt there was something worth participating in.

I guess I could block the bot, but this doesn’t fix the issue for the community. I suggest that these game threads can be merged into groupings. Perhaps just one thread for all the day’s games.

The point is to grow the community with the current audience in mind, not to assume that what works for Reddit is going to immediately work for Lemmy.

I don't have a problem with a lot of Reddit content, but we don't need to be Reddit. I block all Reddit repost bots on sight
