There's that one Lemmy instance that has a bot that posts content scrapped from Reddit, I forgot the name though.
https://lemmit.online/
I know some people don't like these bots, but I'm keen on the cross posting. Bringing the idea to this platform and then people can discuss it. It's mostly the discussions that have the best value anyway 🦙
I think the idea of having crossposted content is ok since you can opt in or out of seeing it, just looked through the instance though and it seems like nobody is interacting with the content at all. For me, my favorite part of the posts on Reddit was reading through the conversations in the comments. Imo, if nobody is interacting with the content that is being crossposted we shouldn’t bother with continuing to copy it over
It seems to mostly cover the big subs.
Just request the ones you want here and it will start syncing them. Make sure you subscribe after the communities are made (takes a few minutes) or the dev will disable the bot on those communities. The more people who subscribe, the more often it checks for updates. https://lemmit.online/c/requests
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !requests@lemmit.online
Good bot
Does it copy comments?
No
Did you request him to a add the ones you want?
