POLL: Should we allow content migration bots?
POLL: Should we allow content migration bots?
Bots of this type have appeared recently, and people are asking if it's okay to use them. I'm not sure about this either, so I think it would make sense to ask users.
These bots follow some subreddits on Reddit and automatically post it to Lemmy when a post is created there.
I've seen an example site for it: lemmit.online. This instance is dedicated solely to mirroring Reddit posts to the Lemmy instance.
Maybe instead of mirroring to a community on Lemmy NSFW, we can subscribe to lemmit.online via Lemmy NSFW. This way we could have kept Lemmy NSFW free of bots. Currently, even if accepted, I believe it should be done under admin control to prevent duplicates.
Here is the poll: https://strawpoll.com/polls/PbZqRw82byN
I'm open to suggestions.
You're viewing a single thread.
I voted for bot-specific communities, but I honestly think subscribing to them on other instances is better. It's what I've been doing already.
Also, that other comment's idea about banning anything but OC, that's the worst idea I've ever read. At that point, you may as well just declare this an anti-2D instance, because adult art communities will never survive under such draconian rules. Even on Reddit, my sub only got about one OC post a month, and I doubt that one regular user has moved here.
