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.
I think this will work well if it is very limited - get some content in (ideally by getting permission from the 3 biggest posters and pulling theirs over) but then ban it.
HFY, Admiral_cloudberg, certain meme community’s… NSFW subs could do it by asking one poster
Even just having an easier way to post, like post scheduling etc. Ive got content to seed my community but posting it so it doesnt spam is difficult
