I can respect that. I was approaching the same thing from other side, if I can get everything from reddit here, I won’t need to visit Reddit. Perhaps I should invest in a RSS-reader kind of aggregator that can do that purely client side.

I’m not sure we want to allow that on this instance.

Why not?

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.

That sounds impractical. What else do you consider behavior-to-avoid, other than low quality and reposts? Do lemmy has anything in built to avoid reposts, or low quality posts? Goals on lemmy.ml don’t mention this. Is this something you personally want, or are these !india@lemmy.ml goals?

I hope I am not coming off as argumentative/offensive. I am genuinely curious.

I didn’t know push-notifications use XMPP. In the light of new (to me) knowledge, I’d like to rephrase my question:

Are XMPP clients (e.g Gajim) relevant today? If I were to use one, what would I use it for?

Genuinely clueless, is XMPP relevant anymore? I consider myself reasonably technical, and when it comes to chat, here’s what comes to mind:

1. IRC
2. Slack / Zulip / Mattermost
3. Discord
4. Matrix / Element

If I was to use Gajim, who would I talk to? e.g any communities or projects

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.

What do lemmurs want? I am new here.
