I don’t have any ideological reason to not have dirty communist content on wolfballs but they block us and we can’t comment back.
So for that reason I don’t want their content promoted here right now.
If someone really wants it here let me know and I can unblock it. I just can’t think of a good reason for it to be here if we can’t participate in their discussions.
basically same idea as Dissenter which I brought up, only applied to lemmy instances kind of.
For that I think we should just write a bot that repost from certain communities.
I can probably do that in a day.
that would work. Repost maybe from certain communities like the linux one. In to its own separate lemmy mirror community (not the wolfballls linux). Or do you think they should be combined? I think it might be good to be separate to prevent duplicates and junk posts getting on to the main linux community.
As far as the bot is concerned, it doesn’t matter. Anyone could run the bot from any computer because it would call a public api to get recent post, filter out ones already saved and then post them to the other instance.
Whoever is running the bot or modding the community could decide where it would post.
ruqqus had a bot API, does lemmy? Or should one be made?
lemmy has a public api which can be used by a bot ( or a human aka web browser ). Accounts have a flag you can set called bot in your user profile that will make the user show up as a bot.
I really do want to write this bot, it sounds fun. I have higher priority stuff to work on atm. If I get wolfballs time I need to run the migration script and get us to a new domain.
