MODERATORS
I've been struggling with this. I have been posting a lot to the !buildapcsales@lemmy.ml community to try to get it going. At one point, I thought "these are just links to deals, wouldn't it be easier to have a bot steal them from Reddit?"
But then I realized that while the links to deals have some value, it's really the community and discussion that provides value. Would you rather have a bot creating a hundred posts a day with no comments? Or a few posts made by actual people with whom you can ask questions or have a discussion?
