...
of course this exists.
(I'm not complaining)
I'm afraid I don't know enough about mastodon to make such a thing possible, but I expect it should be simpler than what I'm doing for reddit, considering both lemmy and mastodon use ActivityPub. If anything, I expected it to work already.
👍 Fair enough. I just want to prevent people requesting things, deciding it's not what they wanted, and then have the bot keep it up to date for nothing.
askreddit is already being archived.
Question is: why would you want to? You'll only get the questions, not the actual answers (see the FAQ in [email protected]).
Ehm... You know you will only get the questions, not the explanations, right?
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.
Not sure. This weekend I plan to use a proper lemmy api library, instead of what I cooked up myself. Maybe that will help.
Yeah, sometimes the bot skips a request, but does pick up newer ones. 🫤 Not sure what causes that. Hopefully it will be fixed when I switch to a proper python Lemmy library this weekend.
In that case just post your request again, worst case the bot will tell you the sub already exists 🤷.
Why so? It shows up here, and on beehaw?
