Heya,
I still need to create some tools to make to easily add new subreddits to the bot. I’ll probably get around to that this weekend, and then I’ll add /r/theyknew and notify you. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a great contender for synchronisation/archiving.
Can’t blame you for that. Personally, I still think it excels at content where communication with OP is irrelevant, like [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected]. And by far best example of this, if you look at the subscriber count, is nsfw content.
Nope. That would be very hard to implement, and probably very confusing and disliked by other lemmy users.
I don’t know how the karma thresholds work behind the scenes, but might I suggest for the bot to do a “top for” sort instead? Like it will only repost top content for the past 6 hours only. This will also help get more quality content as well and avoid reposting low effort/quality posts.
This is effectively already kinda how it works. For each subreddit it periodically (anywhere between every 30 minutes to every 12 hours, based on subscriber count and posts per day) requests the “hot” content feed. It then checks each post if it has at least 20 upvotes, and a 80% upvote to downvote ratio. Those numbers are configurable, but that’s what they’re currently set to - I believe they’re a good mix between filtering out the complete garbage while still making sure it doesn’t miss good content is.
What.
You want to mirror a Lemmy community onto Lemmit? :s
Also, see sidebar.
good bot! :D
Oh hey, it’s you!
Thanks for the .rocks universe :)
Good news, everyone! The plexsubs subreddit was banned and this had caused the lemmit bot to get stuck in an infinite loop.
Wait, that’s not good news at all!
Well, at least the bug has now been fixed.
Because it already exists, you dolt.
[email protected] is already a thing brah.
Personally I’d be fine with allowing it in bios only. If people want to see more, they’ll check out the bio, and see the link there. In other cases someone will just be like “… Nice.” without feeling advertised to.
In the end, it’s all about the rules the community itself puts up. Personally, I get more enjoyment out of fewer “real” (imperfect/amateur) out-of-love quality, than more perfect/fitgirl for-profit quantity. But I’m aware this is generally a minority opinion.
Thanks, added as a sticky in the lemmit community.
Ideally I want to have this done automatically.
thank you!
Beside the fact that this community already exists, I think all of the ask-* reddits are terrible contender for being replicated here.
Cheers, both all three of you. We’re off to a beautiful federated future.
Congrats on reaching this set of sane rules. The efforts of creating an admin community behind the scenes are really starting to show off.
Request for clarification for uhmm, a friend of mine: When someone creates that own instance, with blackjack and hookers, and one of your users subscribes to a community there, it will synchronise part of that content to lemmynsfw. What will you do then?
I’d like to remind you that some beautiful maniacs can be quite reasonable ;)
Yeah, I’ve upped the limit on this server, so it should come through now if you retry.
you should retry ;)
Sad news: the maximum length for a community name on Lemmy is 20 characters, whereas it’s 21 on Reddit. There is a request open on github to extend this limit, but until then, this isn’t going to work.
That could work, but it would be terrible for discoverability. In the mean time, I put up a feature request at Lemmy. I’m not a fan of pushing my problems upstream, but in this case it would actually be the easiest solution - as far as I can see (and I have 0 experience with Rust) they only need to adjust the validation regex, because the database already allows for it. That is - as long as the ActivityPub protocol allows for it.
If they deny it, I could try something with name mapping, but you’d either end up with something that is unreadable, or something with a high collision chance. Neither option is very appealing. For now I’m just going to wait and see.
It’s done: [email protected].
