Bots of this type have appeared recently, and people are asking if it’s okay to use them. I’m not sure about this either, so I think it would make sense to ask users.
These bots follow some subreddits on Reddit and automatically post it to Lemmy when a post is created there.
I’ve seen an example site for it: lemmit.online. This instance is dedicated solely to mirroring Reddit posts to the Lemmy instance.
Maybe instead of mirroring to a community on Lemmy NSFW, we can subscribe to lemmit.online via Lemmy NSFW. This way we could have kept Lemmy NSFW free of bots. Currently, even if accepted, I believe it should be done under admin control to prevent duplicates.
Here is the poll: https://strawpoll.com/polls/PbZqRw82byN
I’m open to suggestions.
from a legal standpoint I can’t see how there is, reddit doesn’t own any of the content it serves. it’s terms of service do require they give the right for them to display it, but not ownership of the content
What do you mean? Just because someone has uploaded their nudes to Reddit doesn’t mean you have the right to upload it somewhere else? It’s a clear violation of copyright. And I’d suspect a sex worker advertising their onlyfans is not going to be too happy about it.
