It’s done: !theyknew@lemmit.online.

Heya,

I still need to create some tools to make to easily add new subreddits to the bot. I’ll probably get around to that this weekend, and then I’ll add /r/theyknew and notify you. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a great contender for synchronisation/archiving.

Can’t blame you for that. Personally, I still think it excels at content where communication with OP is irrelevant, like !itookapicture@lemmit.online, !todayilearned@lemmit.online or !dataisbeautiful@lemmit.online. And by far best example of this, if you look at the subscriber count, is nsfw content.

Nope. That would be very hard to implement, and probably very confusing and disliked by other lemmy users.

I don’t know how the karma thresholds work behind the scenes, but might I suggest for the bot to do a “top for” sort instead? Like it will only repost top content for the past 6 hours only. This will also help get more quality content as well and avoid reposting low effort/quality posts.

This is effectively already kinda how it works. For each subreddit it periodically (anywhere between every 30 minutes to every 12 hours, based on subscriber count and posts per day) requests the “hot” content feed. It then checks each post if it has at least 20 upvotes, and a 80% upvote to downvote ratio. Those numbers are configurable, but that’s what they’re currently set to - I believe they’re a good mix between filtering out the complete garbage while still making sure it doesn’t miss good content is.

What.

You want to mirror a Lemmy community onto Lemmit? :s

Also, see sidebar.

good bot! :D

Oh hey, it’s you!

Thanks for the .rocks universe :)

Because it already exists, you dolt.

!Superstonk@lemmit.online is already a thing brah.

Personally I’d be fine with allowing it in bios only. If people want to see more, they’ll check out the bio, and see the link there. In other cases someone will just be like “… Nice.” without feeling advertised to.

In the end, it’s all about the rules the community itself puts up. Personally, I get more enjoyment out of fewer “real” (imperfect/amateur) out-of-love quality, than more perfect/fitgirl for-profit quantity. But I’m aware this is generally a minority opinion.

Thanks, added as a sticky in the lemmit community.

Ideally I want to have this done automatically.

thank you!

Beside the fact that this community already exists, I think all of the ask-* reddits are terrible contender for being replicated here.

Cheers, both all three of you. We’re off to a beautiful federated future.

Congrats on reaching this set of sane rules. The efforts of creating an admin community behind the scenes are really starting to show off.

Request for clarification for uhmm, a friend of mine: When someone creates that own instance, with blackjack and hookers, and one of your users subscribes to a community there, it will synchronise part of that content to lemmynsfw. What will you do then?

I’d like to remind you that some beautiful maniacs can be quite reasonable ;)

Amen

Word.

Step 1: go to !requests@lemmit.online and check if the subreddit you want has already been requested. If so, it contains a link you can use to subscribe to it. If not, read the sidebar and make a post in the request community.

Do note that Lemmit will only copy over the starting posts, not the comments. So there is no point in requesting subs like /r/askmen etc.

Let me know if you have any further questions, and please be specific.

Yeah, I have no idea why people request or subscribe to subs like this either.

Bad bot. Deploying a fix right now for this, apologies for the spam.

The bad news is that I now know why it cannot clone this subreddit - the name is too long. That’s going to take some time to fix, I’m afraid.

At any rate, “bestof” subreddits don’t work very well at the moment anyway, since they do not yet retrieve the underlying message.

For what it’s worth, as the creator of lemmit.online, I totally understand people not wanting to see automated content bots. I, for one, wouldn’t want to see them mixed with regular content. That is why I made sure to put it on its own instance, and not allow any users - so there would be minimal harm if a server would decide to defederate.

And yes, NSFW content is allowed on my server :). For more answers, see this FAQ post. For more questions, please post them in that comment thread there.
