Bots of this type have appeared recently, and people are asking if it's okay to use them. I'm not sure about this either, so I think it would make sense to ask users.

These bots follow some subreddits on Reddit and automatically post it to Lemmy when a post is created there.

I've seen an example site for it: lemmit.online. This instance is dedicated solely to mirroring Reddit posts to the Lemmy instance.

Maybe instead of mirroring to a community on Lemmy NSFW, we can subscribe to lemmit.online via Lemmy NSFW. This way we could have kept Lemmy NSFW free of bots. Currently, even if accepted, I believe it should be done under admin control to prevent duplicates.

Here is the poll: https://strawpoll.com/polls/PbZqRw82byN

I'm open to suggestions.

Does lemmit.online support NSFW communities and subreddits?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess yes. Even if it doesn't, supporting ones will show up soon probably.

Even as NSFW subs become unavailable via API at the end of the month?

If it's got its own API key, it'll probably stay under the limits, and if not there's other ways like RSS/Atom or web scraping.
