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.

I requested one for r/soccer. The community here is small and I don’t have the time to spend all day on Twitter looking for the latest news to post it while it grows. So this bot fetches latest posts from there and I crosspost to a Lemmy community of real users on the rare occasion that it’s interesting to me. The bot lives in its own instance so it isn’t spamming any real user community.
For news-oriented communities, I understand using a bot, at least until you build a userbase.
How to add a bot . I have a small community. Maybe it can help me.
