Seeing low activity here, I was thinking of creating a bot which can bring content from /r/india. Here’s what I have in mind:
- Every hour, post top 30 posts from /r/india to /c/india
- Also cross-post comments from all the posts we cross-post i.e if someone posts a comment on reddit, post it here; and if someone responds to a comment here, re-post it on appropriate thread in reddit
What do guys think? Is it a good idea? In my mind it can help break content monopoly of reddit.
Agreed. It won’t be 30 every hour though, it’ll end up being like 2/3 per hour on a normal day. Most posts on /r/india stays there on top for a while.
Why not cross-post comments though? I personally find this feature very appealing.
If it’s implemented like you said in the post it might encourage spam.
It being spam didn’t even cross my mind. lol You’re right, cross-content for one can be spam for other. I was thinking in terms of Matrix bridges, which are also common in other chat ecosystems. e.g most ecosystems I’ve encountered (slack, zulip, discord, mattermost) have one way or other to interop with IRC. There usually is a bot which cross-posts whenever there is a message on IRC and vice-versa.
