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.

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

These people invested so much time and effort into their communities, I understand why they are doing all this to keep them

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.

Ah, the meta memes, we have evolved

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.

Yeah, it doesn’t synchronize anything between posts, it just takes posts from reddit and posts it to the community you assign in the config.

I’m glad you found it useful!

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.
