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.

I’m currently running a bot doing this exactly, some communities might want to get a post more often, that’s why I made mine configurable.

I developed a bot for this purpose, it only crossposts links to external websites like news, it’s being used in a couple of communities that need a little push with content.
It only crosspost 1 post every hour to each community to avoid spamming and it can handle multiple subreddits at the same time.
That’s how I think it should be done, so far, users engage with the posts made by the bot in an organic way.
If you want to check it out: https://github.com/daniel-lxs/BotIt
I’m open to suggestions :)

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!

Join on fedia.io or readit.buzz, both very stable kbin instances

An invitation only community https://tildes.net/

As they defederate from instances they deem unwanted they will lose relevance from your point of view.
The way I see it if an instance isolates itself the communities inside that were relevant to many users will be replaced with others.
They suggested on some comments that they see federation as a plus, but they want a very specific type of community.

Reddit refugees are already fracturing between Tildes, Squabbles.io, Lemmy etc.

No surprise, honestly. Most of the users are casual lurkers who already don’t care about having ads shoved in their faces. Reddit will continue to implement measures to increase profitability, such as placing more ads throughout the platform and adopting features from other social media platforms. This may not be the mistake that will lead to its downfall, but I assure you, they will make mistakes like Digg did one day.

with the modifications I made to kbin link it also works for lemmy, I don’t mind to combine efforts and have one repo for an extension. Just let me know

Hey that’s me!

That’s amazing!, so cool to see that little project be useful for others

Edit 2: This is what you should see on “!communityname@lemmy.ml” type mentions. Is not working on kbin.social due to a bug but I will fix that very soon.

It should be a difference, a little kbin icon appears on mentions of lemmy communities like “! communityname@lemmy.ml”
Edit: I didn’t expect for people to use it so soon, I will give you more information in a bit when I get to my pc

I don’t know if you are talking about me! But if so, then yes!

Yes, I will update it in a bit, it improves performance a little
