Anyone else confused about the point of Lemmit.online? (lemmy.one)

From what I can gather, a bot creates communities based on subreddits recommended to them by users, then fills said communities with posts from Reddit. I don't really get the point of this, as 90% of posts it seems are just copied from Reddit but without any of the actual engagement, as the OP didn't post it and no one is commenting. It just seems like clutter and a waste of space, but it's also all over my feed. Anyone else confused?

Well, it's pretty much summed up in the pinned post in lemmit.online, but here you go: https://lemmit.online/post/14692

In short, yes, that instance is a bit archiving stuff from Reddit. The point is: there's no harm and it could be useful. If you mind, there's just one account to block.
