I don't know, man. I'm not saying it was the best thing that could've been done, but at least she's actually trying to get us to stop cooking ourselves. It wasn't like she went full blown eco terrorist.

What word do you think would better describe the situation?

It sounds like you're against subs going dark in protest, but you're on Lemmy. I'm kind of confused.

Oh no. Please don't tell me that's what that diseased morsel in the top left corner is.

FWIW, I wasn't looking to pull in anything historical. Just thought it could be handy to pull in current topics from the top of a subreddit for that day. I'm not sure at what frequency it would be pull/post exactly, and it wouldn't even be repeating everything from a given subreddit. I was also thinking I'd do it all from one user so if someone didn't like it, they could just block it.

Edit: It seems like there's enough people that would prefer this didn't happen for some pretty good reasons. For that reason, I'm not going to move forward with this idea.

I was thinking it'd be nice to have a bot pull top posts from Reddit, and repost them to their corresponding Lemmy analogs to help bolster the content available on Lemmy while it's growing. I'm not sure if this kind of functionality would be desired by other users, or legal under Reddit ToS. I was thinking that if this was desired, it could be done for cheap under Reddit's new API costs. An effort would also be made to prevent reposts as well. I would definitely like to hear everyone's opinions on this.
