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.
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
Yeah, the second one is to show that you can map the same subreddit to multiple communities at the same time, you are not limited to just one per subreddit.
Edit: not a stupid question :)
Edit2: Sorry I misunderstood your question, the answer is yes, it is an example showing you can target many communities at once from one source.
Excuse me if I don’t understand your question but, you can definitely have this setup:
r/sysadmin -> c/sysadmin
r/sysadmin -> m/sysadmin
You can repeat the same subreddit in the config.yml files as many times as you want, the bot caches the response from reddit so it doesn’t request the same thing over and over.
Also you don’t need to credit if you don’t want to, but you could add a description about your bot so other users know what is doing.
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.

Glad to hear it’s working! If you have any problems or suggestions let me know :)
There’s multiple things to consider, both are great options, but right now I’m liking kbin more for these reasons:
Overall both Lemmy and kbin are in their infancy and I expect both to get better to a point where choosing between them won’t come down to which one of the two have less bugs, and more focused in the features and appearance you want, this ofc will change with the many apps being developed, since they will be vastly different.
I might end up in Lemmy or I might stay on kbin, it depends which one feels more “active” to me.
You should definitely change it now, before something happens.
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.
