Bit late to this but I find it both sad and annoying to have a continual stream of reposts from Reddit. No one is engaging with them. I’ll chime in, to an empty room. OP is on another platform.
I wish there was a way to link any repost to the original or have some sort of time delay system where if something is posted it can't be posted again 3 minutes later.
Depends. If it is a Lemmy thing sure, why not. I do find the automatic reposts from certain subreddits on Lemmy quite annoying. In a way I prefer more direct contact with the community instead of reacting to a mirror of another platform
If you want to read yesterday's posts, do that. No need to litter and devalue the platform with garbage. Unless you have something original to contribute, you're not contributing at all.
I think reposts are fine if there is a system that links to the original post so the discussion is not fragmented. Bots are fine as long as they don't post walls of text on every thread a good bot is one you don't notice.
Imho, reposts have a positive impact. Usually, a frequently reposted content means that it is something important or entertaining for the mainstream crowd.
Sometimes I would go offline for a day or two, and when I came back, the reposts were the ones who brought me up to speed on what's trending.

Pointless.

Nothing wrong with reposts, they'll happen no matter what so why worry about it.
Bots, hard pass. Lazy mods ruined many a sub with endless rules and bots to enforce whatever their algorithms dictated.

Reposts are ok if it's been X amount of time. Don't confuse reposting with activity.
Yes?
Because people have overlapping accounts
