Heya,
You're right that it doesn't pick up everything, the bot is not using the new
sorting, but the default, hot
. I did this intentionally, in order to have a bit of quality filter. Let's face it, with the amount of people visiting here right now, there's not going to be much up/down voting to do quality control.
Those posts you mentioned did make it on here eventually (once they got enough votes on reddit), but I'm afraid that if your goal is to have a 1-on-1 copy of reddit, that won't help you much :/
