I mean we want the memes here, someone has to bring them over, and that person deserves to be paid for their work.

ok the pay is imaginary internet points but they can be redeemed for serotonin.

I'd rather have my pay in pounds-fucking-sterling but hey brain chemicals arent bad either

Sorry, seretonin machine is broken 😞

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Omg I'd be way more inclined to post to gain "serotonin" over karma.

If you use the Mlem app it actually does have an upvote/karma counter on your profile

Copy the entire source code? Would that work.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Nobody cares about the source code, it's about the content.

We've still got two weeks of API status quo, right? It'd be wicked if someone could manage to populate Lemmy with a huge amount of reddit content (maybe a few whole subreddits? or the last few weeks of a crapload of different smaller niche subreddits?) to jumpstart this community into a viable alternative by having similar-ish content volume.

The thing that's so daunting for me is having to start over in so many niche communities that don't exist here yet. Let's 'clone' reddit while we can and then just go cold turkey on reddit entirely on June 30th! That sure would send a message...

Actually don't even need the api if you're just copying the the post, simply scraping pages will do

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well then ill wip out my Python Knowledge and ill give it a shot

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you know how to do this? Asking seriously!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

With the reddit api /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But for real. You can use something like a webscraper that crawls reddit via the normal web interface and create a bot account on lemmy. Then just download the reddit posts and upload them to lemmy. I would not recommend this as lemmy.ml is currently almost at capacity and uploading tons of reddit posts does not help.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh I personally don't intend to, just wanted to understand how it works. Reddit has so many bots it shouldn't be too advanced programming

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Noice mate! Hate to say it- or I mean, "unpopular opinion" but I like this site much better.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It ain't much but it's honest work.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't notice 'cause I nuked all my Reddit accounts... well, I really left only one, which was the oldest account I had.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Sogar auf Lemmy heißt es wieder: ein Volk, eine Nation, eine Kommentarsektion
