Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Yea, what’s to stop me from creating a bot to ping the Reddit API, grab the top posts from a sub, check for duplicates, then repost to Lemmy using their API.

Granted, I’m making many an assumption here.

Did you hear about the recent Reddit API changes, by any chance?

If you use a personal api token that only you are using it shouldn't have enough usage to cost anything

Even if it did cause an issue. Web scrapping is viable too

Is "scrapping" autocorrect, a typo, or intended? Not meaning to be rude just interested because I've only heard of "web scraping" but often see people write "scrapping".

[–] MavTheHack@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Not autocorrect. Just my half ass way of shortening the phrase
