I’m so glad I can just pirate everything I want
Funny thing is, this is exactly what reddit wants. When it’s time to show the traffic after API shutdown they’ll show the traffic of all the users that are protesting, and guess what, it’ll be higher than before the API shutdown
Tracking, ads, money.
These people invested so much time and effort into their communities, I understand why they are doing all this to keep them
I stopped the bot, people don’t seem to like automated content, so I stopped development as well. Sorry
It’s interesting to see people talking about bots flooding some communities with content and others saying there’s not enough.
I created a bot, not to bring posts and comments from reddit but to use reddit as content curator, to bring links that were engaging there on to here.
However some people think theres a difference between users making a post with just a link to a news article or a bot doing it.
I think there’s a use for bots, when the content they bring is external to both reddit and lemmy, and discussion around it is organic.
Also this type of integration could be implemented, the projects are young enough to make big changes on how they work.
I think kbin has a good aproach to this, a completely different tab that allows you to make posts in the mastodon format. This could also be the case on lemmy some point, however I would understand if lemmy users don’t want this at all.
I understand, there’s many people that want nothing to do with a community like that, me included, but ultimately it will being attention to it, because some sympathize with these points of view. Hopefully the admins of shitjustworks take measures to make sure there’s no racism on their instance.
I think with time, compatibility between different services will become better, so far with lemmy limited compatibility and kbin with full compatibility, we are going in a good direction
I think this type of posts will have an opposite impact to what we want, we are just giving it the attention it needs to become what it was on Reddit, my recommendation? Block it immediately.
Then he shouldn’t get paid like all the mods
I’m currently running a bot doing this exactly, some communities might want to get a post more often, that’s why I made mine configurable.

You should definitely change it now, before something happens.
I developed a bot for this purpose, it only crossposts links to external websites like news, it’s being used in a couple of communities that need a little push with content.
It only crosspost 1 post every hour to each community to avoid spamming and it can handle multiple subreddits at the same time.
That’s how I think it should be done, so far, users engage with the posts made by the bot in an organic way.

I’m open to suggestions :)
Hahaha, every post is either full of deleted comments or just locked, this is by far the most original one so far.
In my case is a cost one for sure, I just cant afford to pay for every single streaming platform, I pay for spotify no problem, all my music is in there.
