OMG, That did it!

Can't believe I hadn't tried that myself! (well, or that nobody else suggested it in that github issue).

I won't be applying that patch, because I don't really want to mess with the deployment system, but I did leave a list of current NSFW communities in the comments.

Apologies for the late reply, here's a list of the current NSFW subs on the server. I'm not quite sure on how to keep this list up to date automatically, but I'll figure something out.

{
 "nsfw_communities": [
  "[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])",
  "[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])",

}

Step 1: go to [email protected] 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.

That could work, but it would be terrible for discoverability. In the mean time, I put up a feature request at Lemmy. I'm not a fan of pushing my problems upstream, but in this case it would actually be the easiest solution - as far as I can see (and I have 0 experience with Rust) they only need to adjust the validation regex, because the database already allows for it. That is - as long as the ActivityPub protocol allows for it.

If they deny it, I could try something with name mapping, but you'd either end up with something that is unreadable, or something with a high collision chance. Neither option is very appealing. For now I'm just going to wait and see.

I have considered some technical solutions, and I agree that this sub would be an excellent candidate for archiving. For now I have made a feature request at Lemmy because, let's face it, that would solve several problems.

If they aren't up for it, I could try and fix it some other way, but ideally it would be fixed if they would just allow for 1 more character than they do now.

Unfortunately, Lemmy cannot handle community names over 20 characters, so this won't be possible.

Done ;)

Done :)

You know what, there actually is a setting in Lemmit that allows for scraping of new. I'll make an exception for dota2 for you, gimme a moment to fix that. Having said that - since there's only 7 subscribers to that community right now, it will only get updated once per hour (once per half hour once it hits 10), but you will get all the posts.

Heya,

You're right that it doesn't pick up everything, the bot is not using the new sorting, but the default, hot. I did this intentionally, in order to have a bit of quality filter. Let's face it, with the amount of people visiting here right now, there's not going to be much up/down voting to do quality control.

Those posts you mentioned did make it on here eventually (once they got enough votes on reddit), but I'm afraid that if your goal is to have a 1-on-1 copy of reddit, that won't help you much :/

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