escaped_cruzaderSomeone should make and extension that grabs what you post on reddit and sends it here
Extra_Cucumber_2979What would be even better is to download all reddit and repost it on lemmy as until the end of the month the API does not have limit, right ? :D
You could, but the API for Reddit won't work in two weeks... and tbh I like the fact we're building something new here
ZeroDrekThe irony of this post is the fact that the API policy will literally make such an extension pointless starting in July. People should just….not post on Reddit…
pacologyYou can’t really keep a foot in two shoes. Commit to one platform and post only three.
That's a funny typo :D
MxM111That's trinity, which is one.
I thought about writing a bot that grabs the RSS feed of a subreddit (no API needed) and posts new entries to matching communities on lemmy. Code examples are readily available for lemmy bots.
But somehow it feels wrong. It's like some kind of fake engagement on lemmy. The communities should grow organically - not by copying Reddit.
KasreanI'm not going to stay here if there wont be reliable news feeds for my interest on here.
Are you going to actually engage with bots, though?
The solution is not to mirror Reddit, but to have actual people actually post shit here.
Maybe make a separate instance or community/mag for reddit repost, like unreddit or something.
Dick JusticeI agree, and whats the point of perusing threads that are filled with posts and comment made by users that you can't even interact with because they aren't actually here? I feel like if anyone misses Reddit that much, that theyre willing to wade about in scraped Reddit content talking to themselves, maybe they'd just be happier staying on Reddit? I dunno... The idea of actuall Lemm6 contrnt being subsumed by Reddit ghost-threads is kind of a bummer.
We should create special communities that are purely reddit posts copied over
A lot of the best Reddit users (imho) already migrated, and a good chunk more will come in after the 30th. The migration process itself is acting aas a great crap filter. I respect your opinions, but I strongly disagree... If Lemmy gets overrun by shitty, stale Reddit humor annd reposts and low-effort, scraped posts, I'm outta here. I'm enjoying the atmosphere here a great deal, and the mass archive of content will come with time. Lemmy doesn't need to be a mirror of Reddit spiraling into a whirlpool of crap, IMHO.
Reddit was quite bearable once you left the main subs and went to the niche stuff.
If this here gets big enough it will become like this as well i guess.

I literally just made this yesterday
Or the other way around, cross post from the main platform (lemmy, kbin) to reddirt.
This also makes the new platform more visible on the sinking ship.
Por que no los dos?
I mean you can, but I would rather advertise for the better platform (by linking to it) than for the worse.
More content in here is a good thing though. Each decides for their own, I just shared my thoughts.

readbeanicecreamOr just post here ... 🤷♂️
@[email protected] has a good project up and running already. They have a bot that you can request to pull a Reddit subs contant, and then you can subscribe. They posted the details about it

Sorry for the 2nd top level comment, but I figured it would help with visibility.
Sure just set up a bot to grab every new post from the API and -- oh wait.
I made something like this https://github.com/driccio98/BotIt.
GitHub - driccio98/BotIt: A bot that scrapes posts from an specific subreddit and posts it on a kbin magazine.
