I used to see bots posting comments that were copied verbatim from Hacker News – which was really obvious because of the “[1]” style footnoting they do on HN that rarely made sense on reddit where you could just use markdown to add descriptive links inline.
I reported a whole bunch of those, but no one ever seemed to do anything about them, and I eventually gave up. Been over a year since I’ve interacted significantly with reddit though, and I’m similarly in the “who knows what they’re doing now” camp. Wouldn’t surprise me if there are bots reposting comments scraped from lemmy to karma farm on reddit now too.
According to their FAQ, they say it’s supposed to be pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ and provide an audio clip: https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4
To me that sounds like “for-jay-oh”.
