Is it a good (probably temporary) way to get content in Lemmy?

    I created a bot like this. https://github.com/daniel-lxs/BotIt
    It’s intended for links and I wouldn’t encourage using it for anything else, as you said I think the best idea is to crosspost content that isn’t on reddit on the first place, and just use reddit as a way to measure how engaging is the post.
    This is so far a work in progress so expect bugs. But in my opinion, the bot is usable in this stage.

    Edit: I might add multiple subreddit and magazine/community support, so you could specify a map and pull from many places to post in many places, stay tuned.

      That’s cool thanks I might try setting that up. Could always just setup multiple scripts for each sub to comm mapping.

      thanks! I’m on lemmy but just saw /m/BotIt on kbin yesterday, and I assume you’re the main party behind that. Admirable work, I’m going to give it a try some time!___

        Yes, and also @klin who has helped a lot.
        Let me know if you have questions, however it should be fairly easy to use.
