Will that also block all users from that instance? I was under the impression that it just blocked posts from that instance showing up in your feed.
Did we really need yet another reddit mirroring bot?
I personally requested it because this particular bot also mirrors comments, not just posts. And the two super niche communities it posts in are completely dead on lemmy, so im trying to revive them by having at least some updates, also so people dont have to go back to reddit just to get that niche content. https://communick.news/u/rglullis set it up.
As somewhat expected, alien.top was defederated. May I recommend you re-create your community in an instance managed by people with a little bit more sense?
The admin banned the whole communities! I first have to find an instance that would be okay with your software. Do you have any suggestions as to how to find one? Also, in case you didnt see, real lemmy users engaged in discussions based on the reddit comments many times already, making your idea a success!
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.
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.
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
The idea of fediverser is to do a lot more than "another mirroring bot". The idea is to have a way that can let people "clone" their reddit profiles to Lemmy instances and seamlessly migrate away from it. Pulling content from reddit and into specific communities (where the mods have expressed interest in hosting the mirrored content) is a way to bootstrap the Lemmy community and to convince potential reddit-migrants that they can settle here without missing out on the content from the niche communities.
If it's top comment on a reddit post then yeah, they'll automatically get filtered since they are tied to their posts.
Are these bots posting in communities from other instances?
