So you could subscribe communities to hashtags and have it displays toots and pictures from that hashtag in the Lemmy UI

    Some communities have bots creating topics, wouldn’t this be similar?

      Lots of people don’t like those communities that are filled with bot posts. A lot of people even disable viewing of bot posts. Most of those bot posts have 0 comments.

      I just don’t think they’re a good example to support your case.

        To be honest, I’m not a fan of bots ripping content from Reddit. But these would be humans. You would just be adding a thread inclusive of replies. Unlike bots, toot authors also reply.

          The content on Reddit is also submitted by humans (well, mostly).

          This assumes that a post pulled from Mastodon to Lemmy will also push comments from Lemmy back to Mastodon (or at least notifications of comments)… which is a real infrastructure problem, and also depends on the Mastodon communities wanting that interaction, and the admins allowing it.

            Huh? This functionality is already in place and has been for a while.
