This is just a community meant for migrators of Reddit to come on over. I have no idea how to mod and get things going, but it would be cool if someone with some knowledge could set up an RSS-Feed or something to get some automated deals posted!

Thanks for making the community! I see quite a few here that have RSS bots posting, so it's possible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Honestly, I'm okay with that, in fact encourage it. I need to figure out how to do that myself.

Could you share your favorite ones?

The https://lemmy.world/u/NEWS bot looks pretty good. It posting quite often, so I assume it's harvesting something.

Very happy to have this community back! Because I'm sure not going back to Reddit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Welcome :) I'll try to keep it community based, but if we keep growing I'll try to get more moderators and maybe bots to get some deals automagically

Howdy! I'm starting to like this federation concept.

The sidebar might need updating, as I see it still references Future Shop :)
