That’s sorta my larger idea for where to take this: one crossposting engine that’ll use a template to copy posts to fediverse websites. Once I know Reddit works well I wanted to try Hacker News next

I share the sentiment of crossposting by actual users being preferable to using bots, hence the extension. The hope is that users will be encouraged to migrate quality content to Lemmy.

The reality is that Reddit still gets a lot of great and current content posted to it in a larger quantity than Lemmy does, and thats true whether you want news or memes.

Easy content migration incentivizes users that are on both platforms to port quality content over to the Fediverse, and if there’s quality content then Lemmy will be more attractive to new users. My Lemmy newsfeed can be quite stale compared to my Reddit feed, which is what inspired me to make this.

I’m interested in expanding this to a larger crossposting engine for mastodon and pixelfed. I think tools like this can be really helpful for adoption.

Doubt, fortunately. The extremists will largely never be turned, but most Trump supporters are moderates who care more about their own well-being than solidarity with the group. Mussolini is a great example of how an idiot dictator can quickly fragment his supporters and end up in the streets

Just chiming in to throw some light hearted shade at lemmy.world for defederating from the piracy communities. My time on lemmy.world was really poor, and I came away not thinking too highly of Lemmy as a whole. My experience in different instances has been a world of difference, and I finally get fantastic content in my feeds and am fully on board with Lemmy

Holy shit this is hilarious. I get AI replies from co-workers multiple times a week (federal government; very much against policy to be using AI on work computers). Would you be willing to share the prompt?

I’ve come up with this:
