Someone should make and extension that grabs what you post on reddit and sends it here
I'm not sure how authentication works for Lemmy, but you could just grab de new post form and send it to Lemmy, to an existing community or creating on with the same subreddit name
The irony of this post is the fact that Reddit’s new API policy will literally make such an extension pointless starting in July. People should just….not post on Reddit…
I thought about writing a bot that grabs the RSS feed of a subreddit (no API needed) and posts new entries to matching communities on lemmy. Code examples are readily available for lemmy bots.
But somehow it feels wrong. It's like some kind of fake engagement on lemmy. The communities should grow organically - not by copying Reddit.
A lot of the best Reddit users (imho) already migrated, and a good chunk more will come in after the 30th. The migration process itself is acting as a great crap filter. I respect your opinions, but I strongly disagree... If Lemmy gets overrun by shitty, stale Reddit humor and reposts and low-effort, scraped posts, I'm outta here. I'm enjoying the atmosphere here a great deal, and the mass archive of content will come with time. Lemmy doesn't need to be a mirror of Reddit spiraling into a whirlpool of crap, IMHO.
Reddit was quite bearable once you left the main subs and went to the niche stuff.
If this here gets big enough it will become like this as well i guess.
@[email protected] has a good project up and running already. They have a bot that you can request to pull a Reddit sub's content, and then you can subscribe. They posted the details about it here:
