Reddit Migration

Maybe have the bot pick one of the similar magazines like world, news, and worldnews for each crosspost instead of posting to all of them? Since there are so many new communities a lot of us have subscribed to all of them for now while we try to decide which fits our needs best. By spamming into every magazine/community that is similar to the Reddit sub you're pulling from, you're creating a lot of duplicates in our feeds. Otherwise I welcome seeing more content here, and applaud your efforts!

Personally, I’m not thrilled with the idea of bots posting in general. It seems like that’s down that path towards a place I don’t want to go.

In the case of a few subs, such as manga or anime, there is use in a bot like this to post chapters/episodes for discussion. Currently users are doing this so that others have a place for conversing about each chapter/episode. It sounds like there is a consensus in these groups to try and figure out how to get a site with API (like mangadex) and a bot to do this posting

I don't really want to see content that wasn't posted by a human

Oh hi, yes I noticed your bot. It posts content into a magazine I'm active in, that doesn't have that many submitters yet. (kbin.social/m/worldnews)

I was a bit disappointed to be honest. It feels like you're imposing the Reddit news subs' preferences and priorities onto kbin. As one of only a handful that posts in that mag your bot really helps shape it, so basically reddit is dictating content.

I had been trying every day to contribute fresh relevant and global content to encourage subscribers, so it's a bit demoralizing since your bot is probably going to perpetuate the Reddit bias toward Ukraine war news at the expense of other content. It has also already posted an article using tabloid terms like "vile plot" to describe government legislation and I can't suggest it avoid those because it's a bot and can't hear me.

This might be a "me" problem not a you problem, but I wanted to give feedback.
