Hi, I'm the operator of this bot that has been crossposting from Reddit directly into lemmy/kbin communities every hour.
You can check this account post history, it has been posting every hour to various communities and I wanted to know if you guys have noticed. So far only a couple of users have mentioned in the comments that this account is a bot, other than that, on engaging posts, users seems to participate in discussions organically.
Why am I making this post?
I wanted to know your opinions, should this bot continue running? Should I adjust the criteria that's used for the posts? Should I increase or decrease frequency of posting?
I want to know what you think about crossposting in smaller communities that need help with content.
So far the bot takes posts no older than 3 hours and in some cases where the sub is smaller 5 hours.
The intent to which I made this bot is to help moderators of communities that are moving here from reddit or for any user that wants to mirror content here that he previously saw on reddit to spend less time there.
So, what do you guys think?
Check the bio for the GitHub link, as the bot is open source.
Thank you for participating!
In the case of a few subs, such as manga or anime, there is use in a bot like this to post chapters/episodes for discussion. Currently users are doing this so that others have a place for conversing about each chapter/episode. It sounds like there is a consensus in these groups to try and figure out how to get a site with API (like mangadex) and a bot to do this posting
