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.
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.
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 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
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.

There’s multiple things to consider, both are great options, but right now I’m liking kbin more for these reasons:
Overall both Lemmy and kbin are in their infancy and I expect both to get better to a point where choosing between them won’t come down to which one of the two have less bugs, and more focused in the features and appearance you want, this ofc will change with the many apps being developed, since they will be vastly different.
I might end up in Lemmy or I might stay on kbin, it depends which one feels more “active” to me.
I developed a bot for this purpose, it only crossposts links to external websites like news, it’s being used in a couple of communities that need a little push with content.
It only crosspost 1 post every hour to each community to avoid spamming and it can handle multiple subreddits at the same time.
That’s how I think it should be done, so far, users engage with the posts made by the bot in an organic way.

I’m open to suggestions :)
That makes sense
My question is: Why? When he was just focused on spaceX and Tesla very few times I would hear about this behavior (I might just live under a rock). But now that he is focused on Twitter it’s like he decided to be a piece of shit even more.
Hahaha, every post is either full of deleted comments or just locked, this is by far the most original one so far.
This is what I fear the most tbh
Meta’s incursion in the fediverse might cause very bad effects, there’s nothing preventing them from spitting add from their new platform to all other platforms compatible with it.
I really hope that if we come to that, admins will defederate immediately.

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.
