I’m not sure I understand how I could use polling in this case. Would I just keep sending requests to the endpoint to see if there are any new messages sent or something like that?

Never really thought about it! Thanks, will take a look

Yeah I was thinking about EC2 as I’ve used it before for another project. Wanted to see if there are any other options just in case.

Will take a look at that, thanks!

The problem is, from what I know, that there’s no full API documentation for Kbin available yet, so an app for Kbin is not possible to make now. Yeah, the option would be to create it for Lemmy and then just federate with Kbin.

If it becomes available for Kbin that would be wonderful…

How do you ensure that your data (files, photos) is backed up when using Nextcloud? I’m very paranoid having all my files lost due to a drive failing.

Yep, saw another user mention this as well. I never knew this was possible, makes things so much easier haha.

I haven’t checked Kbin’s API documentation, but I assume (and hope) there is a post API endpoint.

edit: Just checked and it seems like you’re only able to do GET requests at the moment (link to docs). Will be waiting for updates from @ernest in this case.

Ah it seems I wasn’t the only one who thought about this - https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/38958/Bot-that-will-repost-reddit-content-to-kbin-fediverse#entry-comment-159480 !!! Fully support this idea, will join the magazine and see how I can contribute to mirroring content from Reddit to Kbin.

I don’t think it has copyright implications, as the other user has shown, unless it’s some original work. I wouldn’t mind the posts on the Fediverse mentioning the original authors on Reddit and even linking back to the post just in case.

I don’t mind doing it manually (I was planning to do it for now anyway), but it would be nice to have an automated process for that. Plus, I don’t think Reddit will ever allow content migration to Fediverse, considering they were censoring stuff related to Kbin/Lemmy a few days ago…

Don’t platforms like Facebook or Instagram have detection against web scraping and they ban you really fast for that or something similar? I’d imagine Reddit would have some protection against that as well, no?

r/beermoneyuk for me… it was a good place for me to find some additional sources of online income (really helped me out this year as a student). I’ve created the magazine @beermoneyuk, just in case (if the mods ever show up I’ll gladly give ownership to them), but I’m not sure if enough people will visit it.

Is there no alternative to r/fantasy here? I’ve been able to find so many books and get many recommendations from there :(

I also second combat footage and the ukraine war subreddits as well.

Hi, I’ve just created @beermoneyuk, inspired by /r/beermoneyuk. It’s not an official port (wasn’t a mod there), but I was a relatively active member of that subreddit and would like it to continue here if possible as well.
