You should definitely change it now, before something happens.

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.

I'm open to suggestions :)

Agreed, taking original content like text posts, post with images or video hosted on reddit are also a bad idea.
The bot I'm using takes links to external websites and images hosted not on reddit.
So far it's been generating discussion as it doesn't spam the communities, it posts 1 post per hour

Where I live we pay for the "service", however this is only on restaurants with waiters, you can choose not to but I've never had a problem with tipping a waiter. Now tipping on an automated transaction? Yeah nah

Very nice to see

I would definitely eat this. I'm sure at first it will be expensive, but once is available I would make the switch to this.

Hahaha, every post is either full of deleted comments or just locked, this is by far the most original one so far.

My question is: Why? When he was just focused on spaceX and Tesla very few times I would hear about this behavior (I might just live under a rock). But now that he is focused on Twitter it's like he decided to be a piece of shit even more.

lixus98, 10 months ago

That makes sense

Where do we leave the bug reports? this post seems to be kinda buggy: https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/post/416733

@hariette is working on one called Artemis!
Here's the magazine: https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp

Wow, seems like spez is from the same breed as Elon "Thin-skinned" Musk, no surprises there really. I love to imagine how hurt he is because everyone is saying that to him lol.

"boost" is a mastodon term, it's used there as a "retweet" so you just basically "retweeted" the comment, this only shows up on the "Microblog" tab.

Oh that's amazing, might give this game a try

lixus98, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

Congratulations!, I hope they don't restore your comments, they really don't deserve them.

lixus98, 10 months ago

Welcome! if you start your own magazine here you can post it here: https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world

I also made a similar bot, might be useful!, this one doesn't check every single post, only external links, I didn't want to repost original content or spam communities, so the post only gets one post per hour (which can be changed) and checks the community to see if there's a similar post there already (same link).

Edit: it uses the json page, and filters posts based on upvotes, downvotes, age, etc. It supports multiple subreddits and communities at the same time.

lixus98, 10 months ago

It should, since it's all federated a lemmy account can post on kbin

lixus98, 10 months ago

You are right, I already had a scraper in progress, if it comes down to it I will use that instead.
Edit: also you can contribute if you want to, suggestions are 100% open.

I see, I used node bc that's what I'm most familiarized with. I'm running it from Digitalocean and seems to be stable for now.
But if you have different requirements you should definitely give making one a go.

The bot you are talking about is archiving many posts from reddit, I have one running too, but mine is intended for mods that need to mirror content from their subreddit (only external links, like news) to a magazine or community.

Nice work! I can't imagine what would happen if a hobby project of mine is suddenly used by 35k users, it would be insanely stressful, keep it up, we are loving it here.

lixus98, 10 months ago

Nope, we are at 35k+

lixus98, 10 months ago

Nice! I'll take a look
