Community seems dead. Can we mirror reddit posts here?

A manually curated mirror of interesting Reddit posts that are self-contained, would be useful. But a bot just mindlessly copying and pasting everything would push us away
If you see something interesting on reddit... just post it here, problem solved.
It's not just about the links, it's also the discussion threads from "self" posts.
if its a real two way bridge, then its at least real human conversations, even if they are not lemmies. If they can read and respond to your comments, I think its a win.
it wouldn't make sense for World News, we have enough fighting there by ourselves. But VLSI design.... sure, why not?
See point #3 of my list. The particular clever thing about the tool is that it is not using one single bot account to mirror the content, but it actually creates a mirror account for every poster and commenter who participates in the discussion. This is showing some interesting advantages:
How about we give this a go for a couple of weeks? This community in particular is pretty much inactive anyway. If people feel annoyed by the mirrored posts or think that is detrimental to the community, I can disable them again.
How about we dont
If you get a great Reddit bridge working bi-directionally. More power to you. I took a look at home lab right now, there's a ton of post but no comments. So I'm not sure it's there yet.
This is what I'm seeing...
Yeah. That looks great. Just not what I'm seeing on my instance, maybe I need to update?
Pretty sure I read before that those counts do not include federated instances and only represent user/subscriber count on the instance you're viewing from.
I'm not looking at the statistics. I'm looking at the different posts in the community. And they're all empty for me. I open them up and they're still empty.
If no one at your instance subscribes to the community, you won't see the updated data. If you subscribe to the community, you'll be seeing the posts/comments as well (provided the instance is federating properly)
Subscribing did it. Nice bridge. If it's bi-directional then that's amazing. Bring a lot of activity into Lemmy
Not yet, but working on it :)
What's the long-term anti-blocking plan?
Different people run bridges for different communities? So it's difficult to track down all the different bridges?
Multiple bridges is the short-term plan. The real long-term plan is to bring enough people to the fediverse to the point reddit is obsolete and the bridges are no longer necessary...

Isn't working or loading for me.
Your doing good work, you should have some crypto (xmr, etc) donation addresses on your GitHub page
I don't have a website there, I do need to find the time to put it up.
I've added an Ethereum address on the github sponsors page, but honestly the best way to help me is by subscribing to communick. 5 bucks a month will give you access to 10 mastodon accounts, which you can then share with your friends. It helps me to fund the operation and it helps overcome the issue of network effects.
