  that would work. Repost maybe from certain communities like the linux one. In to its own separate lemmy mirror community (not the wolfballls linux). Or do you think they should be combined? I think it might be good to be separate to prevent duplicates and junk posts getting on to the main linux community.

    As far as the bot is concerned, it doesn't matter. Anyone could run the bot from any computer because it would call a public api to get recent post, filter out ones already saved and then post them to the other instance.

    Whoever is running the bot or modding the community could decide where it would post.

      ruqqus had a bot API, does lemmy? Or should one be made?

        I really do want to write this bot, it sounds fun. I have higher priority stuff to work on atm. If I get wolfballs time I need to run the migration script and get us to a new domain.

        lemmy has a public api which can be used by a bot ( or a human. You are using it in your web browser ). Accounts have a flag you can set called bot in your user profile that will make the user show up as a bot.
