I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.

None of them are marked as bots. It is possibly a problem with my instance not mirroring the bot status.

I personally don't think there is a solution. I don't beleive it is possible to force growth, and trying risks turning people away. I am also not convinced that growth is essential either, reddit always felt so big that i felt like more of an observer, lemmy is nice and small that it feels more like a community.

You obviously disagree, and i will leave you to it.

Could be? I can now see bot markings on the posts, but not the profile, so maybe its just me. Its certainly was not super clear to me.

Can confirm, using connect the account is not marked but their posts are. Definitely seems to be a connect bug. Shame, connect has been pretty much perfect so far.
