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.
This is why I stopped development of BotIt, if people don’t want it then I won’t continue making it
These people invested so much time and effort into their communities, I understand why they are doing all this to keep them
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.
I understand, there’s many people that want nothing to do with a community like that, me included, but ultimately it will being attention to it, because some sympathize with these points of view. Hopefully the admins of shitjustworks take measures to make sure there’s no racism on their instance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Helpful to know! Thanks!
Yes and I end up deleting the watch history, I only like videos that will help the algorithm, after a few videos it all goes back to normal
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.
