Can’t blame you for that. Personally, I still think it excels at content where communication with OP is irrelevant, like [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected]. And by far best example of this, if you look at the subscriber count, is nsfw content.
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.
Personally I’d be fine with allowing it in bios only. If people want to see more, they’ll check out the bio, and see the link there. In other cases someone will just be like “… Nice.” without feeling advertised to.
In the end, it’s all about the rules the community itself puts up. Personally, I get more enjoyment out of fewer “real” (imperfect/amateur) out-of-love quality, than more perfect/fitgirl for-profit quantity. But I’m aware this is generally a minority opinion.
Cheers, both all three of you. We’re off to a beautiful federated future.
Congrats on reaching this set of sane rules. The efforts of creating an admin community behind the scenes are really starting to show off.
Request for clarification for uhmm, a friend of mine: When someone creates that own instance, with blackjack and hookers, and one of your users subscribes to a community there, it will synchronise part of that content to lemmynsfw. What will you do then?
I’d like to remind you that some beautiful maniacs can be quite reasonable ;)
Good. :)
