    Impressive, I guess, but how many of those 2 million posts have a single comment? If 90% of these are just bots reposting things from Reddit with no further engagement…

      The content will bring in users. I try to comment on interesting topics to help drive engagement.

        This is my thoughts as well. I’ve noticed that once one or two people express interest in a post, it tends to get much more traffic

            I really just prefer genuine content personally. We don’t need to astroturf the site.

        Only if the content is organic. Look at [email protected] . Full of bot posts from reddit with 0 comments. Even if one of them gets a comment, it would get drowned out by the subsequent bot posts. Blindly filling a community with bot posts would eventually make people unsub from it.

          I’m sure those bots are well intended, but I would rather not see bots just copying posts from reddit blindly. When you sort all by new, it’s just a swamp of bot posts.

          Edit: So I checked to verify my claim and most are from @[email protected] iirc and you can just block that account to stop seeing all the automated posts from reddit

        It depends on the content.

        Some of content really depends on OP being in the comments, like AmITheAsshole. Just reposting doesn’t give the kind of interaction that the original post would have.

        You’re doing it right. That’s exactly how to build momentum! 💪

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/fW8amMCVAJQ

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

          I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

      That was my initial thought. The bots are working overtime.

        No doubt, it’s a chicken or egg problem.

      Well the same page lists comments per day for the same period as 11,083,555. A ratio of 5.27 comments per post seems fine.

        Yeah, a ratio means nothing if the bulk of the comments are only on a small portion of the posts. If 90% of the posts have 0 comments and the other 10% have 52.7 comments per post, that’s worth knowing.

      Hey! Some of those posts with no comments are me posting pictures of cute bugs that I took! I’m not a bot, I’m just not very interesting.
