I’m so glad I can just pirate everything I want

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.

This is what I fear the most tbh

Meta’s incursion in the fediverse might cause very bad effects, there’s nothing preventing them from spitting add from their new platform to all other platforms compatible with it.
I really hope that if we come to that, admins will defederate immediately.

A kbin API is in the works, if we manage to make it compatible with lemmy this app would be usable for kbin as well.

Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like (which is being discussed) api this app would be entirely compatible as well!

Even tho they didn’t move to the fediverse, I’m glad they left reddit.

Yup, I made it so it would only post links. In my opinion is not a good idea to let the bot take every post it finds.
Also it currently only posts 1 post at a time on each fetch so as to not flood the magazine and let users post by themselves.

If you want to crosspost content from reddit automatically use: https://github.com/daniel-lxs/BotIt,
It’s intended for links and I wouldn’t encourage using it for anything else cause you know, stealing content from others is not good.
But if you need a link aggregator for your community this might do it.

Edit: this is a work in progress, so expect bugs.

So it can confuse buyers, and they buy a lower generation for a higher price

Helpful to know! Thanks!

You do have a point tho

Since Musk’s acquisition, Twitter has cut costs dramatically and laid off thousands of employees. Musk ordered the company to cut infrastructure costs, such as spending on cloud services, by $1 billion, a source had told Reuters in November.

Can Elon keep Twitter afloat with all the money it’s been losing?

How is lemmy preparing for it?
