Bots of this type have appeared recently, and people are asking if it’s okay to use them. I’m not sure about this either, so I think it would make sense to ask users.
These bots follow some subreddits on Reddit and automatically post it to Lemmy when a post is created there.
I’ve seen an example site for it: lemmit.online. This instance is dedicated solely to mirroring Reddit posts to the Lemmy instance.
Maybe instead of mirroring to a community on Lemmy NSFW, we can subscribe to lemmit.online via Lemmy NSFW. This way we could have kept Lemmy NSFW free of bots. Currently, even if accepted, I believe it should be done under admin control to prevent duplicates.
Here is the poll: https://strawpoll.com/polls/PbZqRw82byN
I’m open to suggestions.
I’m responding to weather there is a risk of reddit sueing not the individual creator creating a take down request.
If an individual creator got a bee in their bonnet and decided they were OK having their posts on one forum but not the other they could request it be taken down, but reddit themselves couldn’t. I think overall since we are pulling from a free non gated site that’s a minimal issue, as people like only fans creators are using this explicitly to show people free content to get them to go to their paid content. It would be like them getting mad you reposted or shared their original post
