It seems like these communities are a lot more focused on original content than reddit somehow, unless i'm missing something. Like, Mastodon seems to have loads of bots reposting stuff straight from twitter. I guess i'm wondering why i don't see more reddit content bots, or shameless reposts. Is it to save server space? Is it just faux pas?

I had considered importing some posts from niche communities on Reddit just for backup purposes, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
