Reddit refugee chilling on kbin.
Working on:
https://github.com/daniel-lxs/BotIt
https://github.com/daniel-lxs/kbin-link
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.

You should definitely change it now, before something happens.
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 :)
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 ads from their new platform to all other platforms compatible with it.
I really hope that if we come to that, admins will defederate immediately.
If you want to follow from kbin go to https://kbin.social/m/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
Also you can use my browser extension and just click on the icon:
Kbin Link for Chrome
Kbin Link for Firefox
A kbin API is in the works, if we manage to make it compatible with lemmy this app would be usable for kbin as well.
Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like api (which is being discussed) this app would be entirely compatible as well!
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
Same, when I posted on reddit I felt rejected, even if what I said was something unimportant, there was always someone who made you feel like you were wrong for just participating, this is much better.
Even tho they didn’t move to the fediverse, I’m glad they left reddit.
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.
Yes, it is, might have a look at this, I don’t think is too hard to make
I think the only difference is that there’s at least a chance to keep interacting with the community from an instance that is not showing ads.
I’m just so glad vital parts of piracy were saved, such as the mrgathread and core users of it’s community
Helpful to know! Thanks!
Click it multiple times and it should change to subscribed
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.
