We're way ahead of you, check my profile for m/BotIt
And we'll still be here too!
Also everyone, please upvote this thread itself so we can get other folks from the fediverse to come over to the thread as well. Thanks.
No flairs yet! Baby steps!
That was the right call. Good on Keith to fix that.
If Reddit has proven anything as of late, they're unreliable as a partner.
I'm clearly not a developer but would have reservations in relying on the API just for how erratic they are.
Maybe create a magazine for it to get some additional support? I could edit the top post.
I'm clearly not an expert on this, but I know people scrape data without API's
The issue and solution are the same whether you're on kbin or lemmy.
The absolute #1 thing we need right now is focus on building kbin:
We DESPERATELY need a bot that will take submissions from our subreddit and mirror them on kbin so that we can create the same experience over here and build this place in parallel.
Once Spez eventually ruins Reddit through this Elon phase he's going through, we will have a functioning community here, but we won't do that if we can't recreate the experience.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Any bot builders out there?
We are living proof of that. We have the #1, #2, #3 most commented threads ever on kbin on m/MMA for our threads. People just show up.
