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.

If you guys look on my profile m/BotIt is a bot that will autopull content from subreddits you choose based on time and karma requirements you set.

GitHub is in the top post. Works great and will auto populate content.

Yep it was my 2nd ever post on here from a week ago: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/10949/Could-Someone-Build-a-Bot-that-Mirrors-Subreddit-Submissions#comments

Glad this one took off and we can hopefully build this. Fingers crossed.

I think it is for a lot of magazines, however our magazine and subreddit requires timely news to really get going.

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.

While most of the people here upset and rightfully so, we have got to move past the angst to actually build this place out.

We have to recreate the environment and communities we've created on on Reddit here, so that people don't feel like they're missing out being on kbin.

That way, the next time Spez goes full Elon, we already have everything in place to make the jump.

I help run r/MMA on Reddit. We aggregate news as well as bringing on MMA figures for AMAs.

We, like many other magazines here, will need a way to quickly aggregate breaking news onto our magazine, and the easiest way to do that is going to be through a bot that mirrors submissions to our subreddit.

At least for the mags that rely on breaking news, if we implement this at scale, the end user wont be missing much by migrating over here if they get all the same great breaking news.

Do we have any bot builders in the house who could take this on as a project?

We would be leveraging Reddit's own userbase at scale to better kbin, and eventually beat them in the long run. That's the biggest L we could ever deal them.

EDIT: WASN'T SURE THIS WAS GONNA BLOW UP. IVE MADE https://kbin.social/m/BotIt FOR DEVELOPMENT. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED AND CAN HELP OR JUST WANT TO FOLLOW THE PROJECT, COME ON OVER. THANKS.

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?
