I want to make a bot to crosspost most voted news/links from Reddit. I’m interested in crypto and economics. It will be allowed?
If you automate it, you are possibly taking some risk: https://sopuli.xyz/comment/179700
Is breaking laws against the rules?
Thank you for the link. I will copy links to newspapers only. I don’t see any risk on that.
Still the same thing. The law may see value in the curation of content that Reddit provides, even though they don’t produce the content themselves. But if that is an issue is something only a lawyer can tell you.

Yeah, the changes in the API and the official Reddit client are the main reasons to use Lemmy for me. I’m thinking in scrapping the HTML version but I didn’t try yet.
They’re trying to combat web scraping with rate limits. It might be VERY slow. Doesn’t hurt to try though.
If scraping is slow, doesn’t that mean browsing reddit will also be slow?
That’s incorrect. You can request a free API key that’s limited to 100 calls per minute per app.
I think so. I think I’ve seen others doing it before lol
I don’t have any particular issue with it, however we have to be aware that the people who posted it to reddit didn’t necessarily consent to it being posted here…
They sure did. when they posted it publicly.
