What do you guys think of rss.ponder.cat?

I have seen some people complaining about it, but I think its useful.

you can't rip people off their habits with a snap of a finger. The bot provides a bridge until there's more user generated content. same with lemmit.online.
In time, maybe their use will decrease and become irrelevant, but that's not the current state of things.

I haven't seen much from the rest of the instance, but I blocked the bot a while ago. It's a bot that drives engagement to other sites by posting nothing but plain links. I don't see how that's supposed to be helpful or useful 🤷🏻‍♂️
- That's like, all of Lemmy. What are you expecting?
  
  It's not though, is it? You're replying to a question post here, in a community for questions. A significant portion of Lemmy is communities for questions, media, memes, and tech conversations.
  Of the posts that share links, a decent number of those are either posted with a summary to encourage discussion, or are at least posted by a human that you can speak to. A headline and link to another site, posted by a bot, does nothing to encourage interaction with Lemmy. It's literally a link that points to content somewhere else

It seems interesting. It's weird that individual feeds don't get their own communities.
