  • It's maybe better to start something yourself and then request help if it's gets popular rather than ask someone else to start it for you.

    On average, Lemmy communities have about 170 subscribers, so there's every chance you wouldn't have to do any moderation at all.

  • I was thinking about Andor when I posted this (partly 'cos I'm always thinking about Andor). However season 2 turns out, there'll always be a question of what it could have been, free of delays and with a working showrunner.

    Of the other shows I watch, I can imagine FROM getting the push, leaving us without answers to the show's many mysteries.

  • Accidental Renaissance on Reddit was set to private by its mods, who opened up here instead. I don't know how subscribers on Reddit there was, but yesterday's surge now means there's 1659 Lemmy subscribers.
    So yes, there's some movement, but I doubt it's a "mass exodus"

  • Just start one (a community, that is). There's not some marauding band of trolls out there, waiting to give you a hard time. If it's niche enough, it'll be a highlight just to see someone-who-isn't-you post something!

  • Neat find. Thank you.

    Obviously, it can only search one way, so subreddits that are combinations of words only find communities named exactly the same (e.g /r/andor finds !cassianandor@feddit.nl but /r/StarWarsAndor doesn't, and /r/starwars doesn't find !star_wars@lemmy.world), but given how many communities are named the same, that's not much of an issue (and it can always be supplemented by manual searching, of course).

  • PRAW is the Python wrapper for Reddit's API, and searching github for "lemmy api python" revealed some results, so you'd use one API to download a post, and the other to upload it.

    There's existing bots that do this though, and they all seem to just fill feeds with indiscriminate, un-replied to, spam

  • Just this one for posting. I was messing around with the API and couldn't figure out how to log in, so I created another account at an instance populated by weirdos, and spammed that instead with my many wrong and malformed attempts.
