notexecutiveIs it okay to essentially copy a subreddit to lemmy?
Okay, thanks everyone!
McMansionHell - sh.itjust.works
(Banner from McMansionHell.com [https://mcmansionhell.com/] ) (Please set language to English when posting AND commenting!) A Community about large, cheaply built, suburban homes with design flaws and a lack of architectural integrity also known as “McMansions.” On Thursdays we celebrate the opposite: good suburban architectural design. Based off the famous subreddit r/mcmansionhell, we will essentially do all the same here, as is over there. Please do your best and crosspost if you need too! We need mods!! Please please help! A Short Guide [https://sh.itjust.works/post/119336] Friends at c/badrealestate [https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]]! Here are the rules: 1. Posts can be about ugly houses in general 2. Post appropriately and with correct tags WITHIN the title so it is easy to search. –>Tags: “Thursday Design Appreciation” or “HouseTDA”, “Just Ugly”, “Shitpost”, “Certified McMansion™”, “Discussion/Debate”, and “Interior” are available. 3. All post subjects must be single family homes –>Only post suburban, single family homes. No apartments or duplexes, etc. The community is focused on specifically traditional suburban architecture. 4. Don’t post addresses or other easily identifiable information unless it is publicly listed. –>Keep the information about the property you are posting basic and general. However, if the home is listed on a public website you are permitted to post a link to the public listing. 5. Direct Images Only, no links please. –>Post correctly cropped, direct images and not links to websites. Image hosting links, such as Imgur, are an exception, but we still prefer a direct image. Zillow house page, for example, is ok if it directly links to the photos and such. 6. No Spam –>No posting an excessive amount in a row on the same day or posting the same comment on several posts at once. We have seen it, we just didn’t react to it. Please understand that. 7. No Screenshots –>Crop your photos correctly. 8. Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.

lolpostslolAwesome. I see no issue with it… only thing I’d add is that it would probably be morally encouraged, when it comes to subs with creative/non-obvious concepts to 1) allow for the mods who created the original to mod here if they want and 2) stay true to the original idea of the sub. As a homage to the mods and users who fostered the original community.
I want to do that! Should I just message them directly?
levochemistSo is there a way to view this on kbin or do I always have to view it on sh.itjust.works?
https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]
This should work after searching the URL straight from kbin... but searching it right now gives me a 500 Server error. Seems like it's having technical issues.
I think It's because someone from Kbin needs to subscribe to it first. I just did that and the link works now. Though federation doesn't work retroactively, so the existing posts aren't showing up.
StickBuggedI've been getting 500s all day so it's most likely the server not being able to keep up with the Reddit migration
em2400s errors are server side.
500s errors are your side.
Other way around. 400s are client errors, 500s are server errors.
You can see the full list of http error codes and descriptions of what they mean here
Hah, thanks. Am a potato.
you should be able to view it wherever you use lemmy. they're all federated
SAPHIRAYou can also post it on- new communities ,or one of those other thats similar so more people will see it
demvoterI tried posting from Mastodon and it worked although the title didn’t come through quite right.
I saw I think <:3
If you can change the title through lemmy, to have the "CityName, StateName - Tag" format, that would be really helpful!
kiwifoxtrotYes, that's perfectly ok.
if only there was an api to do it automatically...
kaduThere's nothing wrong with that. Lemmy is it's own thing, create whatever community you want based on whatever criteria you want. Just follow the rules your whatever instance you're creating the community at.
Heck you can even start crossposting content with credit.
Hell, make a copy on every instance.
I’ve seen at least six communities with the same or similar concepts/names as a subreddit, and at least a dozen posts around various communities encouraging any kind of post or engagement including new community creation. Be the content creator you want to see in the fediverse.
melonpunkI've seen it talked about a few times across different platforms (Hackernews) where people have pondered the idea of cloning old posts, keeping the poster name but to a non-existent account. Acting as both a way to populate a community and archive content away from Reddit's control.
I haven't seen any examples of this done yet, not sure if anyone has.
It would be a bit of a project, but the most time-consuming part is already done. /r/datahoarder has a backup of reddit comment/post history that goes from the beginning of reddit up to March of 2023 (text only, no media). It's compressed down to about 2TB in size, but already in json format and anyone can download it, would just need some work to convert that to a format a fediverse instance could work with and somehow inject it into a new instance.
Fuck yeah it is! Make as many subs as you want baby! This is the Wild West and we have blackjack and hookers! Make a McMansion magazine. Hell, make two!
The content does not belong to reddit but to the community so I see no reason not to copy it
I suppose yes. I basically copied a bunch of them.
