!whatcouldgowrong@lemmy.world

Though it has been dead for two years. Maybe you can be the person to start posting and bring it back to life.

I mean... Are we against bots xposting content from reddit that bad?

Could spark up some communities with giving reddit the traffic.

I’ve been missing my towns local communities but not enough to visit Reddit. I’d be really happy if they were cross-posted to Lemmy, even if that means there would be no one to see anything I post

The activity could draw more users in to post more too.

I have things I want to post often but lots of dead or non-existent communities

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd follow that comm if it had activity

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah yes the Catch 22 of Lemmy. The only way to get activity is to already have it.
