POLL: Should we allow content migration bots?
(lemmynsfw.com)
Bots of this type have appeared recently, and people are asking if it's okay to use them. I'm not sure about this either, so I think it would make sense to ask users.
These bots follow some subreddits on Reddit and automatically post it to Lemmy when a post is created there.
I've seen an example site for it: lemmit.online. This instance is dedicated solely to mirroring Reddit posts to the Lemmy instance.
Maybe instead of mirroring to a community on Lemmy NSFW, we can subscribe to lemmit.online via Lemmy NSFW. This way we could have kept Lemmy NSFW free of bots. Currently, even if accepted, I believe it should be done under admin control to prevent duplicates.
Here is the poll: https://strawpoll.com/polls/PbZqRw82byN
I'm open to suggestions.
For what it's worth, as the creator of lemmit.online, I totally understand people not wanting to see automated content bots. I, for one, wouldn't want to see them mixed with regular content. That is why I made sure to put it on its own instance, and not allow any users - so there would be minimal harm if a server would decide to defederate.
And yes, NSFW content is allowed on my server :). For more answers, see this FAQ post. For more questions, please post them in that comment thread there.
