You don’t take your fridge with you?

I’ve been toying with this idea at well. I don’t think it’s a good idea to scrape all content. This could drown out the lemmy-original content, especially when large subreddits are concerned. Maybe an upvote threshold (Only scrape if more than X upvotes) would be a good idea.

I would also scrape only the post itself, not the comments. Best to have our own organic discussions here.

Finally it should be very clear that a bot is posting these things. Ideally the bot would also ensure it is not re-posting something that was already posted by a Lemmy users just a bit earlier.

It also gives me timeouts and internal server errors from time to time. It was just migrated to another server, that might have something to do with it.

Did my part and created an instance in the hopes of offloading some of the bigger instances: https://rammy.site

No clue if and how I should promote it, though. Looks like it’s just me for now.

Part of me is sad that this is needed, but it’s also exciting to try something new

It’s the Malinese top-level domain from what I can tell. As to why it is favored, I can think of two reasons:

• Domain registration is free
• It mimicks the OG lemmy.ml domain
