Great plan what could go wrong?
Yea, what’s to stop me from creating a bot to ping the Reddit API, grab the top posts from a sub, check for duplicates, then repost to Lemmy using their API.
Granted, I’m making many an assumption here.
Did you hear about the recent Reddit API changes, by any chance?
You can also scrape it from the HTML without calling the API directly
Bro there is no karma/points here. If thats what you wanted
Would be cool if there was some way to migrate the posts on reddit to lemmy just all together. My initial thought is to make the posts tied to the op while also filtering based on karma and overall interaction to skip over duplicates and spam. Just making it tied to the op is the part I have no clue on how itll work.
Where you gonna spend your upvote points? At the points store?
I trade them in I guess. Funny spent so much time trying to earn karma just to find it all was for nothing.
At the canteen.
I gotta get some power converters
I hope poemforyoursprog makes the jump.
Holy shit! I forgot how good it was finding their poems in the wild. 100% hope they make the jump 🤞🤞
Would I be worth it/possible to basically copy all of Reddit’s content into Lemmy? Most of Reddit’s usefulness to me is that practically any problem I encounter, I google google the question + Reddit and find a post with the answers I need. I’m sure I’ll be able to do that with Lemmy in a few years but for now 🤷♂️
All excellent ideas. I just didn’t want to lose all the content I created over the 10 years being on Reddit. Not to mention all the great post I saved and even comments I created. And some others created and I saved.
Because they had made a great quote, or list of books I should read. Want to save all that content.
Why though? I’ve got no problem when Google sometimes leads me to an old reddit post. No need to have them all duplicated on lemmy. Let’s just make lemmy the place for the new content
