Hi, I have a bot that I use to mirror posts from one of my favourite Reddit communities onto Lemmy ([email protected]), since there are not enough active users on lemmy for the community to be self-sufficient just yet. Still, it seems it was popular as the reposts were getting upvotes.

My bot got banned from lemmy.ml 3 days ago so I just wanted to ask why. Is there a rule against Reddit reposters (and where)? Is this a lemmy.ml policy or a Lemmy-wide policy?

Thanks

    I can’t believe it’s legal to import the shitty content from Reddit. Bots like this should be banned.
