Love the idea for subreddits I can't find a Lemmy sub for. But I don't want all the rest. I specifically went out of my way to block seeing bots on Lemmy. I don't think there is a way to opt in to seeing just one and even if there was I don't see how I would transition that into only seeing bots for the subs on reddit I'd still want to engage with. I don't understand how you're planning to manage this?
I am not sure what you mean by "this" that I am supposed to manage. If you don't want to follow bots, you won't see the mirrored account.
Right. But what I am saying is that even if I turned the setting off and was seeing the bots how would I only see the bits and pieces I wanted from reddit and not the whole of the reddit website mirrored?
You are never going to see all of reddit mirrored. Please read the description again. There is already a mechanism that lets admins create a mapping between specific subreddits and Lemmy communities, and only those subreddits gets pulled.
So, correct me if I'm wrong. But does that mean there has to be a Lemmy community that is synchronous to the subreddit in order to be mirrored?
Exactly. The main purpose is to help bootstrap the niche communities here who still don't have enough people to make it sustainable by bringing the content and eventually the redditors as well.
