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.

For what it's worth, as the creator of lemmit.online, I totally understand people not wanting to see automated content bots. I, for one, wouldn't want to see them mixed with regular content. That is why I made sure to put it on its own instance, and not allow any users - so there would be minimal harm if a server would decide to defederate.

And yes, NSFW content is allowed on my server :). For more answers, see this FAQ post. For more questions, please post them in that comment thread there.
