Hi, I’m the operator of this bot that has been crossposting from Reddit directly into lemmy/kbin communities every hour.
You can check this account post history, it has been posting every hour to various communities and I wanted to know if you guys have noticed. So far only a couple of users have mentioned in the comments that this account is a bot, other than that, on engaging posts, users seems to participate in discussions organically.
Why am I making this post? I wanted to know your opinions, should this bot continue running? Should I adjust the criteria that’s used for the posts? Should I increase or decrease frequency of posting? I want to know what you think about crossposting in smaller communities that need help with content.
So far the bot takes posts no older than 3 hours and in some cases where the sub is smaller 5 hours.
The intent to which I made this bot is to help moderators of communities that are moving here from reddit or for any user that wants to mirror content here that he previously saw on reddit to spend less time there.
So, what do you guys think? Check the bio for the GitHub link, as the bot is open source. Thank you for participating!
You must log in or # to comment.
Dont take this the wrong way but that kinda sucks. I dont want lemmy to be full of bot-fed reposts of reddit. I’d rather posts and engagement happen organically from users. Let the various instances and magazines grow their own communities and cultures. Already I see different sources being linked than typical on reddit, different kind of engagement.
If something is reposted from reddit I’d rather it be by an OP who actually cares about the subject and will be in the comments replying to people and carrying on a discussion
Sorry, but I agree. I’ve already blocked the lemmit bot that does this as well. If I want to see Reddit posts, I’ll just look at Reddit.
Yeah, but its disgusting to be only able to use the Browser for reddit, so I definetly am happy to use an app to see any content like jerboa.
I would only agree with something like this if it was opt-in and in coordination with community moderators and/or members in what type of post and what frequency.
So only if there is an agreement would it be ok for the bot to cross post from Reddit.
A much better Idea for communities like anime or manga, would be to post episodes/chapters discussions, getting this information from other sources that are not Reddit.
