Good. :)

It’s done: !theyknew@lemmit.online.

Heya,

I still need to create some tools to make to easily add new subreddits to the bot. I’ll probably get around to that this weekend, and then I’ll add /r/theyknew and notify you. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a great contender for synchronisation/archiving.

What.

You want to mirror a Lemmy community onto Lemmit? :s

Also, see sidebar.

good bot! :D

Oh hey, it’s you!

Thanks for the .rocks universe :)

Good news, everyone! The plexsubs subreddit was banned and this had caused the lemmit bot to get stuck in an infinite loop.

Wait, that’s not good news at all!

Well, at least the bug has now been fixed.

Because it already exists, you dolt.

!Superstonk@lemmit.online is already a thing brah.

Thanks, added as a sticky in the lemmit community.

Ideally I want to have this done automatically.

thank you!

Beside the fact that this community already exists, I think all of the ask-* reddits are terrible contender for being replicated here.

Yeah, I’ve upped the limit on this server, so it should come through now if you retry.

you should retry ;)

Sad news: the maximum length for a community name on Lemmy is 20 characters, whereas it’s 21 on Reddit. There is a request open on github to extend this limit, but until then, this isn’t going to work.

That could work, but it would be terrible for discoverability. In the mean time, I put up a feature request at Lemmy. I’m not a fan of pushing my problems upstream, but in this case it would actually be the easiest solution - as far as I can see (and I have 0 experience with Rust) they only need to adjust the validation regex, because the database already allows for it. That is - as long as the ActivityPub protocol allows for it.

If they deny it, I could try something with name mapping, but you’d either end up with something that is unreadable, or something with a high collision chance. Neither option is very appealing. For now I’m just going to wait and see.

I have considered some technical solutions, and I agree that this sub would be an excellent candidate for archiving. For now I have made a feature request at Lemmy because, let’s face it, that would solve several problems.

If they aren’t up for it, I could try and fix it some other way, but ideally it would be fixed if they would just allow for 1 more character than they do now.

Unfortunately, Lemmy cannot handle community names over 20 characters, so this won’t be possible.

askreddit is already being archived.

Question is: why would you want to? You’ll only get the questions, not the actual answers (see the FAQ in !about@lemmit.online).

Bad bot. Deploying a fix right now for this, apologies for the spam.

The bad news is that I now know why it cannot clone this subreddit - the name is too long. That’s going to take some time to fix, I’m afraid.

At any rate, “bestof” subreddits don’t work very well at the moment anyway, since they do not yet retrieve the underlying message.

Doing the lord’s work here, I see 👍 .
