Same here, lots of content cross-posted from reddit. Most of which seems to be bot posts with zero engagement, but lately I noticed many of the human posts, which do generate engagement, are themselves just cross-posts of these bot cross-posts.
So basically we're like 2nd level social media, feeding off what Xitter and reddit pre-filtered for us. To become mainstream would mean to reverse this flow. I'd already be happy if we could shut these bots off and be independent from what we left.
There's definitely way more content on Mastodon than just xitter cross-posts. Also, there is content variety which is kinda lacking here on lemmy. Maybe say after a year or so if lemmy continues to develop, we may see better quality and variety of content here.
