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

It’s sad, but it seems to me you adapted to the fediverse, I see you on my frontpage every time I check it, great content, good job!

I wonder if other official subreddits will stop being official

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

That’s a great way to filter people in some way. I wonder for how long this will last. I’m not saying it can’t be permanent but I’m sure at some point it will attract awful people

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 would like to know why, why is it that chill people came here and why most of the awful people stayed there

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.

“boost” is a mastodon term, it’s used there as a “retweet” so you just basically “retweeted” the comment, this only shows up on the “Microblog” tab.

Wow, seems like spez is from the same breed as Elon “Thin-skinned” Musk, no surprises there really. I love to imagine how hurt he is because everyone is saying that to him lol.

Welcome, don’t be scared of asking something!

I’m just glad this type of people will remain on reddit, don’t try to convince them to come here lol. Let them stay in that shitty place, it’s perfect for shitty people

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.

Helpful to know! Thanks!

Devs (like me) can help, the main issue is hosting the bot somewhere and covering the costs, but I think is a good idea.

I just don’t see how driving out old users that have years and years of quality comments could be a good idea.
