Why not?

Yes, but those bots are just spammy and not wanted by the community (not as the global Lemmy community, but as a specific “subreddit”). You can check the additional features (anti-spam, DoNotPost lists, global limits, dynamic limits, …)

What we need is more people participating in the network, our collective goal should be to get all the people who are using reddit/twitter because “that’s where most people are” and provide them tools to migrate without making them feel like they are missing out on anything. This is how we can win.

Getting content from the outside, with all of the tools integrated in Relly, might just be the solution, I guess.

But what I really want to point out is that what we need is not more content per se. What we need is more people participating in the network, our collective goal should be to get all the people who are using reddit/twitter because “that’s where most people are” and provide them tools to migrate without making them feel like they are missing out on anything. This is how we can win.

This is cool! As said in another comment, I’m now also thinking about a reverse bot which posts from Lemmy to other platforms and keeps the original URL, so that people can partecipate, see the instance homepage, register, … Just trying to improve this amazing environment!

I had to enter reddit (eeewww…) but I found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/rss/comments/e3mx1j/how_to_get_rss_feed_of_a_subreddit_with_top_posts/ Check the first comment.

I should check, but if i remeber correctly, i had some subreddits that i read on newsboat using some kind of option in the RSS link in order to get the top. (something like ?top=24hrs or like that)

Thanks for replying to my post.

For Mastodon: this isn’t the same as you are saying with the user-follow. In your case, each users follows the users that they want to see, and they can partecipate in the comments of that post, but they will see ALL of the posts of that user in their timeline/feed. Here, the community choose what users/hashtags/instances to follow, the best posts get selected and they get posted, without being spammy. You don’t have to see everything, but only the one that both were highly-ranked on Mastodon and they were upvoted on Lemmy. At the same time, you can’t control exactly what sources are selected, but you can also interact with the community in order to drive the moderators to change the sources list, or you could just change/make a new community based on Relly. They are two different approches, that could live in symbiosis (ex. You select your own Mastodon users to follow, and the only Relly’s Mastodon posts that appear are the one that you didn’t already saw in your personal timeline [this would require collaboration with the Lemmy Server Development Team])

Some other additions:

• This isn’t the same as other bots that keep on posting contents, thanks to Limits, objectives, top posts, …
• Being moderated by the moderators/admin of the community/instance, the quality threshold is/should be higher.
• Content is created by users who want more content. We can provide more content, and slowly stop pumping from the outside, until Lemmy is fully independent. (see Dynamic limits in my original post)
• Now that I think of it, it might be a good idea to make a reverse bot, which takes the top posts from Lemmy and posts on Reddit/Mastodon/…, while providing the link to the original lemmy post, in order to drive more traffic and engagement

Hope this is useful!

Yes, and the fact that it doesn’t post any link that was already posted in the last 48 hours avoid spamming.

I think that subreddits could be usable using the RSS feed system, as Reddit API are expensive and if we set up a RSS feed containing the top of 24 hours, we can extract links from there.

You’re also right

As already said, he isn’t omnipotent, so no, he cannot directly control him.

It is a common claim, doesn’t mean that I have to claim that

Yes, the bible says that God created Satan, an entity which had free will and was “good”. Like the human, the entity could also do sinful things thanks to the fact that he had free will. Infact, Satan turned “bad” but Lucifer’s sinful pride cost him his place in paradise.

No, i think this would be great but being realistic, it’s a no.

Nothing in the Bible says that God is truly omnipotent; the Bibile itself references multiple times the existence of Satan, the evil, which ruins the existence on Earth and pushes people to commit sins.

So no, this meme doesn’t have any fucking sense.

Could you explain a little bit this concept please? This will go to write a document that describes the next milestones for Lemmy.

this is a great idea. If you want DM and I’ll see about writing the standard and making the PRs for both the backend and official frontend

Not bad as in “ovverral good” or not bad as “never wrong”?

Anyways I’d say Marco Pannella and Mattarella. (not always good, but overall not that bad)

The US president in the 20 years are either racists, kill children’s with drones or they lie and starts war in Iraq, so no I don’t want to select any US politician for the role of “not bad”.

I am not going to lie I don’t understand what is your problem with the discussion about Russia.

The context of the thread is the same, so it’s actually useful for the discussion
