without labelling them as such
All accounts are marked as bots.
What is the point of this one way mirroring?
The tool is to help reddit users migrate to Lemmy. By going to the portal, reddit users can "take over" their reddit mirror account and get started on Lemmy already subscribed to the same communities they subscribed on reddit.
There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.
I'm also working on two-way mirroring, but even without it is already very useful... Do you know the "rule" of 90/9/1? On every social media network, 90% of the users are just lurking. 9% participate in the discussion occasionally and 1% are prolific participants. In my case, thanks to fediverser, I managed to unsub from almost 40 subreddits I was subscribed, but I managed to bring this number to 2 (/r/fediverse and /r/redditalternatives)
As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave.
I'm not going to say which to avoid the Streisand effect, but I'm seeing some communities that already have interesting conversations between organic users which could have only have started because of some comment thread that has been mirrored.
