This dude is just requesting a ton of them to aggregate power for himself. Don’t let them.
I just want to contribute and I don’t see any limitation. What is wrong with that?
The thing is, the more communities are added, the longer it will take to update all of them. Right now there’s over a 100 communities, and it takes a little over 7 minutes to update them all, and then it starts over again.
This isn’t a problem right now, but it won’t scale forever. At some point (probably sooner than later), it will probably mean having to remove the communities with the least subscribers.
Is your bot open source? Was thinking about spinning up a lemmy instance and I’d consider adding it to help spread the load, I’m sure there are other instances that’d join in too
Contribute by actually building a community, not just requesting a bunch of subreddits to sit ontop of and do nothing with.
I am one of the moderators on lemmy and I have to admit that information on reddit is much faster than Lemmy
Well, they’re not his though. They’re mine 😉.
A requester does not get special privileges over the subs they request. On the other hand… 22 out of 112 is a bit much.
