I would like to make a bot that gets the top posts from specific subreddits and posts them here. Is there any useful guide to do something like this?
Would this be bad Lemmy etiquette?
You must log in or register to comment.
I feel if you did this it would be best to post them to a new distinct community.
For what purpose though? They add no value as they have 0 engagement. But as long as they are posted on dedicated instances and accounts marked as bots, I have no issue with them.
There are some niche communities that still have posts that I would like to see (articles, new ai tools, etc…). I much prefer to stay here instead of going over to reddit to check on stuff, so it would be useful for me to have the top posts of those subs automatically stuck into a community over here.
I’ve been wanting to do this as an experiment. I exported my Reddit history (15,474 comments over the last 12 years) and I wanted to test out making a LLM bot of myself on my own instance.
I’ll probably hate it, but it seems like a good learning experience.
That is an awesome idea! Oh my, it would be so interesting to have a conversation with yourself.
