I want to create a few communities, but two of them are bot communities with a high volume of posts, and I would interact with them only a couple of times a day. I would like to know what the rules are regarding bots and specifically bot communities. I made these communities on lemm.ee, but they changed the rules to forbid this kind of communities later, so I’m asking first this time. The main reason the bot communities were forbidden in lemm.ee was that they caused too much noise on the local feed, and people complained about it.
Here are the communities I’m planning to create:
- Polls: A community for polls. I’m especially interested in creating the polls community here since it solves the problem of people downvoting answers when in polls you usually can’t downvote. Link to c/polls@lemmy.ml
- ShareGPT: To share AI output I find interesting. Link to c/sharegpt@lemmy.fmhy.ml
- Lemmy Issues: For moving issue discussion to Lemmy. Mainly a bot community. Link to c/issue_tracker@lemm.ee
- Zeitgeist Zone: To post my YouTube feed and anything I want. Mostly a bot account. Link to c/youtube_feed@lemm.ee
Can anyone provide information on the rules and guidelines for bot communities on Reddthat.com? I want to ensure that I’m following the platform’s policies before creating these communities. Thanks in advance!

Yeah kind-of. We don’t mind the occasional post but at this point in time we don’t necessarily want to be a platform used by people spamming low effort content.
I think we can make occasional exceptions for quality content in a community that is not dedicated to your channel but is a general community about a topic. Ie if you posted about recalls, anime, tech, vinyl, or EDM I’m sure the occasional “self post” would be welcome.
So at this point in time we’ll have to decline the dedicated community but if it was on a topic that was more general and you posted some content on it I think that would be acceptable. Thank you checking with us first!
