Are any communities/instances that solely repost content from Reddit? (lemm.ee)

Reddit sucks, but back in the long long ago started by being a link repost website.

lemmit.online is an instance where a bot reposts Reddit content.

How can I set up my Jerboa to show me this in my feed?

you can find that bot and follow it. or just create an account on lemmy.online and you'll see tons of it by default.

I feel a bit thick but I can't seem to find @bot@lemmy.online, !@bot@lemmy.online, or lemmy.online for that matter. Basically I've no idea how to follow a user. I can find communities fine, but yep, struggling here.

[–] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

finding users and communities across instances can be tricky, as those lists (users, communities) have to sync between instances, and that can take time. i can't find it, either.

lemmy is still a bit wonky, and not everything works like it should right now. an APi update is coming an about a week

it didn't actually. i was there in the beginning. sure, lots of stuff was reposted from digg during the exodus, but it was always just a link aggregator. and, like lemmy today during the flood of new Reddit users, lots of reddit stuff is getting reposted here, but lemmy is still just a link aggregator.
