Dear Lemmings, how can we funnel reddit users to lemmy?
(lemmy.world)
Please, help us to better understand how we can effectively funnel reddit users into Lemmy across all demographics, leveraging the average Lemmings advantages like expertise in automation, ai and bots?
What tactics/strategies do you propose? Can we automate the process? Can we somehow add ai to make it more fashionable?
I think the only thing reddit has over Lemmy is the number of active communities, and not how big these communities are. If there's 10k people in a community, it's fine. It doesn't help if there's 100k.
But I need the diversity. I need r/soccer and r/chatgpt that are way more active.
That will happen with a critical mass of users. Maybe it is possible to correlate the foundation/success or just number of subredits with number of active redit users, then we might be able to conclude what number of critical users is necessary for that to happen.
Honestly, I don't need the active users in r/soccer. I only need the goal highlights tbh. It's my go-to every single week for any highlights.
So if we could make a bot just copying video-uploads from that subreddit, I would stay on Lemmy forever.
But that's just me, and probably other r/soccer users.
How to best implement such a bot?
If it's ONLY for the goals and highlights, I would say to scrape "New" on soccer for video posts that's been up for 10 minutes. The mods over there mostly take down dublicates and spam pretty fast.
The only problem is the mirrors in the comments that needs to come over with it. This one is tricky as they are not necessarily uploaded within 30 minutes.
I know there's also a bot on reddit taking all these videos and uploading them in the comments on another video source not taking goals down. So a mix of these two approaches would do it.
But HOW to do it, I don't know sorry.
I need my snark and gossip subs!
