Thanks for the alert.

I think I might have found what was responsible for the double posting issue: if the bot doesn't receive a response from the Lemmy server in time, it might not record the post as having been submitted. As a backup, the bot also checks the list of submitted posts on Lemmy for duplicate titles, but if Lemmy is lagging, then that wouldn't work either.

I've added another check that should address that issue. I'll also have the bot check if it made any duplicate posts and delete them.

I've heard that people leaving Amazon do so because of the environment/culture there, even though Amazon pays very well.

For me, it's Focalors. I gotta have all the archons!

Without Kokomi, I wouldn't have been able to complete the previous Abyss cycle. I love the fish <3

It's an April Fools event that has been done twice, most recently in 2022. I wasn't aware that they were holding the event again so soon, but it appears it's starting on July 20..

Is biking not an option?

Are you using a different Lemmy client? I've never seen media auto play on the main lemmy.world site, nor can I find an option to toggle that.

The bot is only able to load a fallback video, which has no audio. I'll add YouTube support ASAP.

Edit: Some videos aren't on YouTube, so the bot will download the video + audio from Reddit, merge them together, then upload them to a platform that offers free hosting like catbox.moe. It'd be much simpler to mirror Twitter instead, but Elon keeps changing stuff.

That costs as much as my 840 EVO (120 GB) did in 2014.

Especially when ChatGPT bots are on the rise... Reddit couldn't have picked a worse time to alienate the BotDefense team.

I've found it useful for generating regexes and document outlines.

The mods of a gaming sub I frequent marked it as NSFW to prevent Reddit from earning ad revenue. There's some discontent from a vocal minority of users about the change.

You should prioritize whatever leads to you having the most fun. Are you planning to use Eula on a team? If not, then it'd be probably be a better idea to invest in your main.

I'll try to make the bot detect if a video has been uploaded to YouTube and use that instead of the Reddit media link.

Ideally, I'd use the Twitter API instead, but Musk fucked it up.

I made a bot to repost official announcements for a game I play. Ideally, a day will come where the company makes the announcements themselves on Lemmy and my bot is no longer needed, but until then, the owner of the sub has granted me permission to use my bot.

My bot makes about one or two posts per day. Other people in this thread have mentioned certain bots making posts every couple minutes, which many people would find quite excessive.

The official Reddit app doesn't work on older phones, guess I'm out of luck. I can afford a new phone, but I don't feel it's worth it to buy a new phone just for one app.

Voat, a previous Reddit competitor, managed to survive for years, even though it attracted a much more niche audience than Lemmy.

The actions of the admins after the initial blackout were why I moved over to Lemmy.

Someone told me that using a script to delete your posts/comments might be detectable by the Reddit admins. It might be easier to get away with manually editing + deleting your posts/comments, though a random sleep could also work.

Good point. A script that only archives posts might be a better idea. It could even simultaneously remake those posts here.
