Nope. That would be very hard to implement, and probably very confusing and disliked by other lemmy users.

I don’t know how the karma thresholds work behind the scenes, but might I suggest for the bot to do a “top for” sort instead? Like it will only repost top content for the past 6 hours only. This will also help get more quality content as well and avoid reposting low effort/quality posts.
This is effectively already kinda how it works. For each subreddit it periodically (anywhere between every 30 minutes to every 12 hours, based on subscriber count and posts per day) requests the “hot” content feed. It then checks each post if it has at least 20 upvotes, and a 80% upvote to downvote ratio. Those numbers are configurable, but that’s what they’re currently set to - I believe they’re a good mix between filtering out the complete garbage while still making sure it doesn’t miss good content is.
Step 1: go to !requests@lemmit.online and check if the subreddit you want has already been requested. If so, it contains a link you can use to subscribe to it. If not, read the sidebar and make a post in the request community.
Do note that Lemmit will only copy over the starting posts, not the comments. So there is no point in requesting subs like /r/askmen etc.
Let me know if you have any further questions, and please be specific.
Thanks, I was gonna do this tonight, but are you sure about that format? (I’m still relative newbie to the Fediverse)
Just to test: /c/about.
edit: Looks good, I’ll merge it :)
edit2: Deployed :)
I think @tubbadu@lemmy.one wrote something to that effect (I’m still a mess with making proper links on here :/)
And I also found something else that was written in java (not javascript).
The downside from using the RSS feed is that it doesn’t contain the whole body, which my scraper does fetch.
I’m absolutely with you on that on. If anything, part of the reason I wanted this was to have some fresh content that I knew I was going to miss once after July 1st. Stuff like !itookapicture@lemmit.online for example. There’s a bit too much reddit-circlejerk going on right now, even here imho.
If that’s what happens, that’s what happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m just here to offer a service for people who Do like it.
Yups. Combination of scraping and rss. With a bit of client-side throttling thrown in to stay under the radar.
Yeah, the bot only operates on its own instance. So you can have !bestof@lemmit.online and !bestof@lemmy.ml.
Yups. It’s all done by one bot though, so you’ll just have to block that to get rid of them.
Can’t blame you for that. Personally, I still think it excels at content where communication with OP is irrelevant, like !itookapicture@lemmit.online, !todayilearned@lemmit.online or !dataisbeautiful@lemmit.online. And by far best example of this, if you look at the subscriber count, is nsfw content.
