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?

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.
