MODERATORS
I guess a repost can be useful to add content to a relevant community and provoke discussion there (eg, something posted on a David Lynch community would be of interest to a Twin Peaks community.
Not if it's for karma-whoring of course, but does Lemmy even lend itself to that? I'm new, so I can't really say but it doesn't seem like it so far.
I should clarify that there's no karma, because there are very few users. Once there are more people, some users will try to make a bot which farms karma, for the usual reasons.
Reposting definitely serves some useful function, but too much reposting from Reddit will just make Lemmy feel like a cheap knock-off. At this early stage, I feel like new content and chat works better, but that's just an intuition.
No, theres no karma because we dont need that stupid system on Lemmy
I agree the amount of good content that gets missed thanks to people reposting the same content for worthless internet points is shocking
"Female humans of reddit with big boobs: whats the sexiest sex you've ever sexed with a big dick epok gamer in your pussying pussy?"
There is a crosspost feature for these situations, I've seen some using it properly and some using it to spam but hopefully we can discourage the latter somehow.
