cross posting from reddit - any coders happy to put in some leg work?

Hi all,

Reddit refugee here. I’ve been following hfy for a number of years and am invested quite heavily in a number of stories. I usually read on mobile on my lunch break, but with rif going and the shocking app it’s replaced with I can no longer do so - just log in via computer every week or so to catch up.

What I am interested in is seeing if any coders here are able to make a bot that pulls ongoing stories from r/hfy when they are updated (first contact, TFTR.etc) and ask the authors if they are ok with it being automatically posted to lemmy as well?

Someone made a bot that scrapes rss feeds and posts to Lemmit.online. Just sub to the subreddit you want.

!hfy

Let’s see if this link works for me.

thespacemonk,

Yep, if the authors over there are fine with it. I can do the software heavy lifting.

I look for the stories on royal road…

C_M,

While this is a bit different than what you are asking for, there is an instance focussed on archiving subreddits lemmit online faq post. That said, I like your idea, because it also puts Lemmy out there. So that maybe more will get familiar with it. And asking a poster is thay are fine with it can never hurt.
