In my case is a cost one for sure, I just cant afford to pay for every single streaming platform, I pay for spotify no problem, all my music is in there.

I’m so glad I can just pirate everything I want

Tracking, ads, money.

These people invested so much time and effort into their communities, I understand why they are doing all this to keep them

It’s interesting to see people talking about bots flooding some communities with content and others saying there’s not enough.
I created a bot, not to bring posts and comments from reddit but to use reddit as content curator, to bring links that were engaging there on to here.
However some people think theres a difference between users making a post with just a link to a news article or a bot doing it.
I think there’s a use for bots, when the content they bring is external to both reddit and lemmy, and discussion around it is organic.

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.

You should definitely change it now, before something happens.

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.

I’m open to suggestions :)

That makes sense

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.

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.

This is what I fear the most tbh

Meta’s incursion in the fediverse might cause very bad effects, there’s nothing preventing them from spitting ads from their new platform to all other platforms compatible with it.
I really hope that if we come to that, admins will defederate immediately.

If you want to follow from kbin go to https://kbin.social/m/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
Also you can use my browser extension and just click on the icon: https://github.com/daniel-lxs/kbin-link

A kbin API is in the works, if we manage to make it compatible with lemmy this app would be usable for kbin as well.

Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like api (which is being discussed) this app would be entirely compatible as well!

I’m just glad this type of people will remain on reddit, don’t try to convince them to come here lol. Let them stay in that shitty place, it’s perfect for shitty people

Same, when I posted on reddit I felt rejected, even if what I said was something unimportant, there was always someone who made you feel like you were wrong for just participating, this is much better.

Even tho they didn’t move to the fediverse, I’m glad they left reddit.

Yup, I made it so it would only post links. In my opinion is not a good idea to let the bot take every post it finds.
Also it currently only posts 1 post at a time on each fetch so as to not flood the magazine and let users post by themselves.
