I noticed there’s a lot of " This is an automated archive made by the Lemmit Bot." Post. And I am wondering why?

I dont really understand why these are popular. The bots are only copying the OP Post and not the comments.

    As someone who owns their own instance, it is hard to get your instance recognized. You don’t have much content because of the lack of people, and it’s hard to get content if you don’t have people join. It’s a chicken and the egg scenario. Because of this some people choose to re-post content from Reddit to attract people over to their instance. It’s great to see the Lemmy community grow, but everyone joining a few huge Lemmy servers kind of defeats the purpose of the fediverse.
