Bots of this type have appeared recently, and people are asking if it's okay to use them. I'm not sure about this either, so I think it would make sense to ask users.
These bots follow some subreddits on Reddit and automatically post it to Lemmy when a post is created there.
I've seen an example site for it: lemmit.online. This instance is dedicated solely to mirroring Reddit posts to the Lemmy instance.
Maybe instead of mirroring to a community on Lemmy NSFW, we can subscribe to lemmit.online via Lemmy NSFW. This way we could have kept Lemmy NSFW free of bots. Currently, even if accepted, I believe it should be done under admin control to prevent duplicates.
Here is the poll: https://strawpoll.com/polls/PbZqRw82byN
I'm open to suggestions.
to moderate a community bots are helpfull and this would be great. There also should be a posting limit per hour / day so we don't flood everything.
Automatic "sync" a subreddit to lemmy is okay, but depends on the content. There are enough user who don't want to see their content on other platforms. And we don't want to anger these user. Also mark / link the original poster would be great to appriciate him. Or ask if we can post the content here too or ask if they wanna join and post their stuff directly here
User will also follow the community with most posts. If there are 10 same communities on different lemmy instances I would also follow only the two most actives.
