Feddit UK_Politics compared to Reddit UK_Politics, lack of content (self.feddituk)

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask if there is any reason why UK_Politics on Feddit has substantially less content compared to UK_Politics on Reddit?

I'd love to only use Feddit but I find myself starting with Feddit and reading the stories/articles quickly and then checking Reddit to see other content. This annoys me (and maybe many others) as I would love to get completely away from Reddit.

Is it purely down to less people on Feddit vs Reddit? or some other reason?

Is there any way we could 'sync' with Reddit to get the same content? I'm not bothered with the discussion parts of it I'd just like to get the stories and articles (which would hopefully add more discussion on Feddit if we got them)

If you can find anything about the bots then I’ll certainly try and help.

I can't find a Lemmy not bringing in the UK Politics sub but it looks like you can post a request to: !requests@zerobytes.monster If the bot starts dragging over Reddit posts then you can subscribe that rather than popping back to Reddit.

Even without the bots I’ll start to help with content.

That's the spirit.

As I said, I was worried about backlash from just copying the content from Reddit but that doesn’t sound like it’s an issue.

As long as you are linking to the original content and not just back to Reddit, then no-one will care where you found it first - I use a range of things to dig for new news.
