Adam set things up to automatically post to Mastodon, which is great. But I was always more of a reddit person than a twitter person, and now I am more of a lemmy person than a mastodon person. I can see his Mastodon posts in kbin, and I suppose I could comment on them there. But my comments and his posts still wouldn’t show up here, where other people interested in Boston will see them.
I could manually post articles from UHub here, but what I really want is for them to autopost to this community so we have something to talk about without my lazy ass having to actually, you know, make a post.
Is there any way to scrape his posts, maybe from his RSS feed, so that they automatically show up here and we can then have a lively discussion on his posts?
Personally I wouldn’t want to see content auto-posted here. Uhub in particular has a lot of noise. I’m glad it exists, I do check it for stuff worth posting here, but do we really want every sidewalk mattress complaint, supermoon photo, and neighborhood crime alert flooding this sub?
I’d rather people post what they care about, think others will find interesting, or specifically want to discuss. That’s what makes it a community instead of just a feed.
