I think with time, compatibility between different services will become better, so far with lemmy limited compatibility and kbin with full compatibility, we are going in a good direction
I think this type of posts will have an opposite impact to what we want, we are just giving it the attention it needs to become what it was on Reddit, my recommendation? Block it immediately.
I'm currently running a bot doing this exactly, some communities might want to get a post more often, that's why I made mine configurable.Github: https://github.com/daniel-lxs/BotIt
There's multiple things to consider, both are great options, but right now I'm liking kbin more for these reasons:
Better algorithm, when I go to my homepage I feel that the site is full of new, active content, where people are having discussions.
Integration with Mastodon, I like to take a peek from time to time on the Microblog tab.
No feed bug. Lemmy has a problem where it would show every single new post on top of the feed (I know this is being fixed)
Overall both Lemmy and kbin are in their infancy and I expect both to get better to a point where choosing between them won't come down to which one of the two have less bugs, and more focused in the features and appearance you want, this ofc will change with the many apps being developed, since they will be vastly different.I might end up in Lemmy or I might stay on kbin, it depends which one feels more "active" to me.
I developed a bot for this purpose, it only crossposts links to external websites like news, it's being used in a couple of communities that need a little push with content.It only crosspost 1 post every hour to each community to avoid spamming and it can handle multiple subreddits at the same time.That's how I think it should be done, so far, users engage with the posts made by the bot in an organic way.If you want to check it out: https://github.com/daniel-lxs/BotItI'm open to suggestions :)
My question is: Why? When he was just focused on spaceX and Tesla very few times I would hear about this behavior (I might just live under a rock). But now that he is focused on Twitter it's like he decided to be a piece of shit even more.
I see, I used node bc that's what I'm most familiarized with. I'm running it from Digitalocean and seems to be stable for now.But if you have different requirements you should definitely give making one a go.
You are right, I already had a scraper in progress, if it comes down to it I will use that instead.Edit: also you can contribute if you want to, suggestions are 100% open.
Wow, seems like spez is from the same breed as Elon "Thin-skinned" Musk, no surprises there really. I love to imagine how hurt he is because everyone is saying that to him lol.
