I feel like it just creates a potemkin village where we have communities filled with content that nobody interacts with or cares about.

Scraping bots make lemmy seem like a cheap repost bothouse. I am here for actual human conversations!
The only way that I think scraping bots are helpful would be for purely archivale purposes. I wish someone would create an Instance that scrapes old Reddit posts and information and posts that information solely on that instance. Scraping new content and posting it here to Lemmy is not even using Lemmy, we’ve just gone back to Reddit at that point.

I’ve started to block anyone who I see just spamming mediocre articles into multiple communities.
Hello fellow human, let’s have a conversation
For sure, let’s talk it up, homie. What’s the word on the street?
Have you heard of the recent gravity wave (GW) announcement? They’ve found a GW analog to the cosmic microwave background. I’ve been wondering, when we can detect these waves well enough, we might see the imprints of alien spaceships going FTL, zipping across the stars. Or we might just see really cool colliding stars and black hole mergers. Either way, the waves are apparently a little louder than expected.
Anyway, that’s my attempt at conversation. What’s going down your side of town?
Yo, what up? The GW announcement sounds mad cool. I dig space and all that jazz. Aliens would be dope if we found them. Could we get their technology though? Could we communicate with them? That would be a whole new level my man. I think we still got some ways to go to detect those alien space ships, but maybe one day.
As for what’s poppin around these parts, lemme tell you what’s going on in my neighborhood. So the other day, I was at the park with some friends, and we saw a group of guys playing basketball. One of them went up for a dunk and totally missed the hoop. It was hilarious, bro! We all started laughing and giving him a hard time about it, but then he got all serious and challenged us to a game. We were all like, “no way, bro, we’re just out here trying to have fun.” But he was persistent, and we ended up playing against him and his friends. We got whipped, but it was all in good fun.
