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 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.
You should definitely change it now, before something happens.
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.
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!
I agree, I don’t think they would just keep the API free forever, they’ve already said that Reddit is not profitable, and so they will continue to add more “features” to be more like tiktok.
Can you share the links to those? Thank you
How is lemmy preparing for it?
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.
