I'm not sure I understand how I could use polling in this case. Would I just keep sending requests to the endpoint to see if there are any new messages sent or something like that?
The problem is, from what I know, that there's no full API documentation for Kbin available yet, so an app for Kbin is not possible to make now. Yeah, the option would be to create it for Lemmy and then just federate with Kbin.
Ah, if Obsidian would've supported hand written notes using a stylus or something, I would've switched instantly. It's sad cause I don't want to keep using Samsung Notes tbh, but it feels like my best option so far.
So can I just use a RPi that's connected to 1-2 external HDDs/SSDs and use them as backup drives? Would I have to run them in a RAID configuration or something?
Yeah, I think as a starting point it should be more than enough to pull the posts from the front page. This can be refreshed every hour or so (depending how active the community is, and it's easy to specify the refresh time).
That way, we can get some of the more popular posts from the subreddit, while still leaving room for people here on the Fediverse to contribute. Otherwise, if we post TOO MUCH from reddit, it'll be just a mirror (which I don't think is a good idea..).
FYI there's no POST API available in the documentation at the moment (https://docs.kbin.pub/#posts) so it might not be possible to create posts on Kbin using the API at the moment. An alternative could be using a web driver temporarily (although I'm not sure how feasible this is).
Don't platforms like Facebook or Instagram have detection against web scraping and they ban you really fast for that or something similar? I'd imagine Reddit would have some protection against that as well, no?
I don't mind doing it manually (I was planning to do it for now anyway), but it would be nice to have an automated process for that. Plus, I don't think Reddit will ever allow content migration to Fediverse, considering they were censoring stuff related to Kbin/Lemmy a few days ago...
I don't think it has copyright implications, as the other user has shown, unless it's some original work. I wouldn't mind the posts on the Fediverse mentioning the original authors on Reddit and even linking back to the post just in case.
Yep, saw another user mention this as well. I never knew this was possible, makes things so much easier haha.
I haven't checked Kbin's API documentation, but I assume (and hope) there is a post API endpoint.
edit: Just checked and it seems like you're only able to do GET requests at the moment (link to docs). Will be waiting for updates from @ernest in this case.
Hi everyone, not sure if everyone's heard of /r/beermoneyuk. It's one of the subreddits that helped most as a student to have an additional source of income and I really miss it since moving to the Fediverse (I can't seem to find the alternative here)....
