I've used reposter bots on my hungarian meme community, since I can't make good enough memes and it's really niche. After a popular vote, I have disabled it, but unfortunately now the community is really really slow again.

Honestly, it's so easy to block accounts, so if there's only one bot in you community you should just keep it.

If they don't like it they can block it.

I mean they certainly have the possibility, but maybe they don't know about it or don't wanna hassle with it. Although your point is definitely understandable.

Yeah, the worst thing is in smal and slow communities your comment won't get any replies, and the highest chance of reply is from the op, but if it's a repost bot, there's obviously no chance of that. Just have to hope for organic growth.

Also, there are hun communities? Never found any while on here.

Yes, it's an unfortunate situation, but I was thinking of maybe reviving the bot and making it post really sparsely, like once in 2 days or something like that, but that will require a popular vote again.

Yes, there are some actually, which honestly surprised me a bit: !hungary@lemmy.world (They collected all the hun communities in a post)

"My" community is this one: !fosttalicska@sopuli.xyz
