Every time reddit announces something dumb I open Lemmy again. I'd rather be here on principle but the content/users just aren't here yet. Where are the cross post bots?

Why not cross post some of the content yourself?

I don't have the time. This just fills the empty gaps in my day, before bed winding down

Isn't that how it always goes. Everyone wants the end result, but nobody wants to do the work.

Yep. Weirdly, I didn't do any work to populate reddit either. It's almost like that would be impractical and unrealistic for an end user to do.

It's only impractical for a small userbase. As the userbase grows, the amount of posts each user needs to contribute in order to maintain an active community drops to a realistic level.
