It was better before people absolutely fucking insisted on scraping reddit posts to bring over here. Post after post after post of regurgitated bot posts, without a single comment, no engagement at all. Fun!
I wish we could not have those
I follow one for news articles. I don't need nor want the comments. I also follow several news communities from lemmy; just a way for me to aggregate.
Have you checked if the source sites of the articles being shared have RSS feeds? That would be a more optimal way to aggregate articles from a few sites than communities, depending on what you're after.
Although, amusingly enough, you could also follow the RSS feeds of the news communities instead of doing that, but then there wouldn't have been much of a point to making an account. 😅
