Wouldn't such automated crossposting result in some really spammy communities without actual people filtering them?
I think reddit can afford to have so many posts in these massive subs because they have a massive community that engages with the posts by up/down voting them.
This will happen. A lot of people did this initially in Mastodon, but it just resulted in feeds getting spammed by reposts from Twitter and drowning out actual posts. Most such users just ended up getting blocked, and others stopped reposting blindly on the fear of getting blocked. My mastodon feed looks so much better without those annoying reposts.
