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.
This is why I stopped development of BotIt, if people don’t want it then I won’t continue making it
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.
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 :)
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 :)
That makes sense
My question is: Why? When he was just focused on spaceX and Tesla very few times I would hear about this behavior (I might just live under a rock). But now that he is focused on Twitter it’s like he decided to be a piece of shit even more.
Hahaha, every post is either full of deleted comments or just locked, this is by far the most original one so far.
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.
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.
