I’ve been seeing a lot of users from alien.top commenting in various threads (mainly sports) lately. They only caught my attention because they are all flagged as bots and I typically manually block most bots (not all because there are some I like). For every one of them their entire post history consists of 1-2 comments or posts. When I took a look at that instance there is nothing there at all and it also shows no users. The comments look human enough but I guess I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that all the comments are LLM generated. Is alien.top just someones LLM experiment or is something else going on here?
Yeah, I know. I’m seeing the same at !main@selfhosted.forum and !emacs@communick.news. It’s really cool, and it will be even cooler when I make it two-way.
I’m thinking of building a whole network of different instances based around specific interests. I have for selfhosted (which will be for devops in general), soccer, basketball, american football, tennis, crypto/blockchain. Maybe I should set up one for TV/Movie/Music discussion. Any good ideas for a domain name? :)
How about something along metacritic, as this would include not only movies but gaming too? metacritic.top or metacriticz.top …
metacritics.zone ?
Sounds good.
https://metacritics.zone/c/90dayfiance. Please join and make any post so that I can appoint you as mod of the community.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !90dayfiance@metacritics.zone
https://feddit.de/post/4691002 - done.
Also, could you make a gakinotsukai one as well?
Lastly, would it be possible for the bot not to copy posts where the OP has removed the content of the thread? There’s a lot of posts like that.
Done.
Can you give me an example of posts that have no content? I will take a look at those later, because now I need to put some work finishing setting up the different instances, communities and I also need to put some time into the fediverser code for letting reddit users take over their mirrored accounts.

https://feddit.de/post/4700011 and https://feddit.de/post/4689465 would be examples.
Good luck finishing to set up the instances.
I also did a gaki post: https://feddit.de/post/4701709
Interesting
I’m just finishing the setup of about 8 different instances, each focused on different themes. Any subreddit that you’d like to have mirrored?
Could you please list the instances? I’m interested in following this.
No subreddit I would like to follow right now, but I’ll keep you updated
Still working on them and I definitely need a proper announcement. But so far:
Are already deployed, still need to set up the communities and the mirror connection.
