I’ve posted before about my fediverser project, and I am now looking to see who is interested in participating.

The short description is that it does the following:

  • it runs a lemmy instance which will be the home of bots that mirror accounts on reddit.
  • The admin of this instance can choose what subreddits are going to be monitored from this instance. Let’s say that these are the “source” communities.
  • For these selected subreddits, the admin can define where the posts from these subreddits should be posted in the other lemmy instances. We can, e.g, map posts from /r/selfhosted to !main@selfhosted.forum or !selfhosted@lemmy.world .
  • You can choose whether to mirror the posts only or the whole thread with comments from reddit. Each of these will be authored by the account that mirrors the original reddit user.
  • (WIP, optional) responses to the reddit mirror accounts will create a comment on reddit with a link to original lemmy thread.

So, now I finally got to deploy the first lemmy fediversed instance, and I’d like to know the following:

  • which subreddits you still follow but would like to bring to the fediverse?
  • For instance admins and community mods, what communities you would like to be the destination of the mirror posts, and would you be interested in having the posts only or the whole thread?

Bear in mind that this is NOT advised to be done for the bigger subs. The idea here is not to create a huge army of bots and overwhelm the fediverse, but mostly to create a migration path to those who rely on the more niche subreddits.

    Again, please notice that I’m only going to mirror anything on Lemmy if the community mods give explicit approval. Could you please post on the lemmy community to see if you can gather more support?

      Unfortunately the feddit.de admin is not on board. Would be happy if you could find a suitable instance at least for 90dayfiance and gakinotsukai which are dead communities on lemmy, the gaming ones can be skipped as not niche enough. I love what you did with the fcbayern one! Thank you so much!

        Is there any gaming-specific instance that could be interested?

            Ok, I will set this up. Is it okay if I fully automate this, or do you want a limited set of posts only?

                If the bots are not allowed due to the “no reddit re-post” content, I’d ask to reconsider this rule. The tool is meant to help users leave reddit and move to Lemmy. The idea is to have these accounts taken over by their true owners on reddit, and to let them do it in a way where they are already subscribed to communities that are interesting to them.

              Thanks! Fully automated is fine. After all, Im the admin of these communities ;)

                Sorry, “the bot” was me doing some manual tests. I am doing some changes in the media storage of alien.top, before fully automating it.

                  Changes in storage still on-going, so I re-enabled the bot but it will not re-post video links for now…

      Which communities specifically? poe-discuss is dead, nobody answers anything anymore. feddit.de is not a community. The reddit communities block lemmy mentions.
