Is it a good (probably temporary) way to get content in Lemmy?

    Honestly yes I think it makes sense to do this, as long as the content itself isn’t hosted on reddit. It would be cool if somebody could make a bot for mods to enable this in their communities to specify subs to pull posts from and how often.

      It’s something that certain subs should 100% do, especially those based on image memes

      I created a bot like this. https://github.com/daniel-lxs/BotIt
      It’s intended for links and I wouldn’t encourage using it for anything else, as you said I think the best idea is to crosspost content that isn’t on reddit on the first place, and just use reddit as a way to measure how engaging is the post.
      This is so far a work in progress so expect bugs. But in my opinion, the bot is usable in this stage.

      Edit: I might add multiple subreddit and magazine/community support, so you could specify a map and pull from many places to post in many places, stay tuned.

        thanks! I’m on lemmy but just saw /m/BotIt on kbin yesterday, and I assume you’re the main party behind that. Admirable work, I’m going to give it a try some time!___

          Yes, and also @klin who has helped a lot.
          Let me know if you have questions, however it should be fairly easy to use.

        That’s cool thanks I might try setting that up. Could always just setup multiple scripts for each sub to comm mapping.

          For now that’s totally possible. Let me know if you have any questions or problems
