You can now get reddit posts on lemmy via RSS, without any ads ;) (yiffit.net)

Check out [email protected]. The admin of lemmit.online has set up a bot that fetches reddit posts via RSS, making it much easier to make the switch and of course not getting any ads.

Also, these posts can then be cross-posted to help us create more content on lemmy native communities. Although I do recommend removing most of the post body when cross-posting. Alternatively you can turn the cross-post into a native post as if you simply were sharing content that you've seen on reddit, but with the perk of not having to load reddit.

You can make requests for subs to fetch at [email protected].

In the end we're just using lemmy and lemmit's bot as a simple RSS reader, so nothing illegal or even remotely unethical happening here.

That's pretty cool, but I think we should focus on leaving that platform altogether.

What's really nice is he has the reposts all coming from the same bot, so people who still want to keep one foot in the reddit door can have their cake, but those of us who are just totally done with reddit can just block a single bot. That way we dont get flooded with Reddit posts in /all. I really appreciate that setup, cause I just dont want to look at Reddit anywhere anymore. I've been suggesting lemmit.online anywhere I can, so that multiple people dont start doing it and it doesn't become too unruly to block it all. Being able to just block one bot is nice.
