Hi, I’m the author of @nitrofuel, a semi-automated tech news bridge to different Lemmy’s communities and instances. This is not a standard bot, beacuse all links have to be review by the mantainer (at the moment, me) before the bot can post it on all communities (about 14 are registred in the main dataset); i know this is kinda spammy, but the idea is to still keep a medium content-quality threshold. The bot user just got banned, after less than an hour of running?
Is it possible to be unbaned? Is there a limit of posts/communities? Is there an higher content-quality threshold? I can change how the system works, but I wanted to ask for a possibility to be unbanned / recreate the account with infranging ToS, in order to build a better platform.
(P.S. The Nitrofuel bridge is also designed to slow the content output if the user partecipation goes up, in order to slowly fade away when a lot of other user-generated original high-quality content is posted; the final objective is to have the account officialiy deleted when the interested communities are fully-grown and there’s a sufficent amount of high-quality original content)
You could cross post which would reduce spam but even then the point of federation is that a post on one instance will make its way to the other instances and share the same comments.
This is a much better version of what you want to do, isn’t spammy. What does your bot achieve that federation didn’t? Other than you controlling the content?
Hi, no, I don’t want to control the feeds; i joined Lemmy beacuse I support the idea. How to crosspost using the Lemmy API?
Well, the bridge is there just to add some quality content; but it isn’t something there is designed to be forever, it will slowly stop posting, with more quality original content posted by the community, until I will permentaly close the bot’s account.
