That's genuinely very cool. I wonder how many of them are duplicates (same link across different communities on different servers). Regardless, I'm pretty happy that it appears that Lemmy is quite active. It really does feel like reddit when you see posts with hundreds or even thousands of upvotes.
Huge thanks to the lemmy devs and instance admins.
Idk if somebody else notices but there are a few communities with a Bot who reposts Reddit post... Idk but they are pretty annoying since we want to be independent from Reddit.
I've blocked them, but I wish they'd stop entirely. The reason I blocked them was not even because I disagree with copying content (I'm fine with that in some cases), but because it was just spamming posts that nobody wanted to engage in. It was post after post with zero comments.
Side note: hot sorting sucks and need to be improved. Why the heck does it like to show so many brand new posts with not even a single other person voting on? If I wanted to see new posts, I'd browse new. I expect hot to show me things that at least a couple of people have said "yeah, this is good" to, first (and ideally more than just a couple).
