I’m not sure if its currently allowed but a content migration bot could help copy the posts off of the nfl subreddit while we dont have as many users to post.
I think part of what we’re seeing is that it’s the off-season. Even on reddit, most of the NFL content right now is of the “If your team was a soup, what soup would it be and why?” type. The content and activity will come as we near the season start.
I feel like a copy bot just makes a ghost town because there is no OP actually invested in the post. Might not matter as much here though because it’s more news-y than some other communities I’ve seen do this. Really weird to get posts requesting recommendations but from a bot. Like what’s the point?
You could argue the point is for discussion or later search reference as we’ve seen with Google.
But I agree. I think for this community where it’s mostly discussion around news stories in a specific industry, a bot for news posting would be good for now at least.
