Among the various ways that I will see the various categories with content is to post it myself. For this I plan on creating a bunch of ghost accounts to help get the ball rolling. I read that’s what they did at Reddit and seems to be a common approach. That said, it still seems controversial. What is the general attitude towards that here? Is it generally f… > [@Seeding a new forum by creating users and content](https://meta.discourse.org/t/seeding-a-new-forum-by-creating-users-and-content/49345?u=canapin): > > Hi there Discourse looks amazing. Wow! A big change from my old days using phpbb. In the past, admittedly a long time ago now, I’ve had greater success starting new forums by initially seeding some content. A little social proof does wonders for engagement levels! Would love to know whether it is possible to seed a new discourse forum. What I’d like to do is to create say 200 user accounts and roughly 1000 topics and replies before launching. Is it possible to do this without having either 2… > [@Publishing posts from fake users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/publishing-posts-from-fake-users/314547?u=canapin): > > Hello everyone, please tell me. After creating forums, as a rule, at first there are no users, so the creators often resort to writing posts and replies to them themselves. Is there a plugin that helps organize this? For example, publish posts from different users and so on. I hope you brought up what I mean. > [@AI sockpuppet accounts to jumpstart my community?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ai-sockpuppet-accounts-to-jumpstart-my-community/292396?u=canapin): > > I am considering to add a discourse instance to a blog with a certain audience. However, since at the beginning it will be a mosly empty space with little ammount of activity in threads and posts, it would be handy to have a bunch of ai powered user accounts that generate some activity in order for people to stay engaged in the community. Does such thing exist on discourse? Immagino che la cosa principale nel tuo suggerimento sia che nessun bot risponderà; inizieranno solo argomenti, giusto? Non lo so da una prospettiva aziendale. Forse è vantaggioso a lungo termine. _Forse_ può aiutare una community a crescere. Il mio istinto mi dice che non mi piace l’idea di rispondere a un bot senza sapere che è un bot, ma non ho argomenti particolari da esporre (anche se alcuni sono scritti nelle risposte dei link che ho pubblicato). Sono sicuro al 100% di aver risposto almeno a un bot a un certo punto su Reddit negli ultimi anni o mesi, e non mi piace questa idea. Mi ricorda il mio cane che una volta ha cercato di interagire con un maiale di terracotta senza vita a una fiera, pensando che fosse una creatura vivente (è stato sia triste che divertente). Ora, se un argomento viene creato da un bot, ed è etichettato come tale, e inizia una discussione legittima e costruttiva tra i partecipanti sull’argomento proposto, perché no? Spero di aver capito bene il tuo post e di non essere fuori tema 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/thoughts-around-simulating-topics/377632)._
