This is amazing. Take a deep sip from your mayonnaise jar for me too, big guy.

I think they might be getting too cozy with China. It seems like they've got some other interesting ideas when it comes to spying on their own people as well.

I don't know, man. I'm not saying it was the best thing that could've been done, but at least she's actually trying to get us to stop cooking ourselves. It wasn't like she went full blown eco terrorist.

How many different platforms can Futurama be resurrected by? This is really impressive.

Oh no. Please don't tell me that's what that diseased morsel in the top left corner is.

Do you think you could do this using Oracle's "forever-free" tier?

[–] taigaman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I wouldn't make this with the intent of it being a forever solution. I just want to make sure there's sufficient content for new users to see so they'll stick around.

I'm definitely for crediting the user that originally posted the content. I'd want to be very transparent about the fact that this was a bot reposting content. I'm thinking about doing this mostly for links. I'm not sure if this bot would even try and handle pics/videos/text.

FWIW, I wasn't looking to pull in anything historical. Just thought it could be handy to pull in current topics from the top of a subreddit for that day. I'm not sure at what frequency it would be pull/post exactly, and it wouldn't even be repeating everything from a given subreddit. I was also thinking I'd do it all from one user so if someone didn't like it, they could just block it.

 

Edit: It seems like there's enough people that would prefer this didn't happen for some pretty good reasons. For that reason, I'm not going to move forward with this idea.

I was thinking it'd be nice to have a bot pull top posts from Reddit, and repost them to their corresponding Lemmy analogs to help bolster the content available on Lemmy while it's growing. I'm not sure if this kind of functionality would be desired by other users, or legal under Reddit ToS. I was thinking that if this was desired, it could be done for cheap under Reddit's new API costs. An effort would also be made to prevent reposts as well. I would definitely like to hear everyone's opinions on this.
