Please, stop reposting this sort of stuff. You’re bot-spamming the feed with threads are pointless without the original OP. I know you miss Reddit but this is not the way to replace it. Quite the opposite.

Just block it so you don’t see this community.

I want to see this community in my feed. I appreciate many of the bots round here. I just think it is spectacularly boneheaded to be botposting Reddit in this particular community. It does not work here.

I disagree, an AITA community won’t really work here until it is easy for people to make a throwaway account and know they will get responses. So for now reading them posted over from Reddit keeps me from going on Reddit.

Honestly, I sympathise with that. I miss them too. But I don’t think you can build a community by dumping a lot of zero-replies posts on it. It is providing some good reading but it can’t supply any engagement.
I may be noticing it more because I browse by new to keep my feed updated more often. So I get half a page of bot-posted threads in this community and it stands out more than it might otherwise.
Your point about the need for throwaways is a good one. I’m sure I did sign up to a Lemmy instance without having to give an email address but if I did, I can’t remember which one. And of course, that policy makes all of Lemmy vulnerable to bad actors. It would be good to have an instance that specialised in throwaways though.
