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.

I'm so glad I can just pirate everything I want

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.

You should definitely change it now, before something happens.

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!

I agree, I don’t think they would just keep the API free forever, they’ve already said that Reddit is not profitable, and so they will continue to add more “features” to be more like tiktok.
