When spez says "We don't want to show NSFW to users" they mean they don't care how many users voted, they are saying "We don't want to give a bad impression to users that will use Reddit no matter what".
They just don't care about anything else that isn't money, if they could replace Reddit users with tiktok users they would be thrilled, even if they lose 12+ year old accounts with thousands of comments.
With this I'm not saying the protest is useless, it has the power to basically kill Reddit if enough users participate in it.

I think kbin has a good aproach to this, a completely different tab that allows you to make posts in the mastodon format. This could also be the case on lemmy some point, however I would understand if lemmy users don't want this at all.
I understand, there's many people that want nothing to do with a community like that, me included, but ultimately it will being attention to it, because some sympathize with these points of view. Hopefully the admins of shitjustworks take measures to make sure there's no racism on their instance.
I think with time, compatibility between different services will become better, so far with lemmy limited compatibility and kbin with full compatibility, we are going in a good direction
I think this type of posts will have an opposite impact to what we want, we are just giving it the attention it needs to become what it was on Reddit, my recommendation? Block it immediately.
Then he shouldn't get paid like all the mods
Yeah, the second one is to show that you can map the same subreddit to multiple communities at the same time, you are not limited to just one per subreddit.
Edit: not a stupid question :)
Edit2: Sorry I misunderstood your question, the answer is yes, it is an example showing you can target many communities at once from one source.
Excuse me if I don't understand your question but, you can definitely have this setup:
r/sysadmin -> c/sysadmin
r/sysadmin -> m/sysadmin
You can repeat the same subreddit in the config.yml files as many times as you want, the bot caches the response from reddit so it doesn't request the same thing over and over.
Also you don't need to credit if you don't want to, but you could add a description about your bot so other users know what is doing.
I'm currently running a bot doing this exactly, some communities might want to get a post more often, that's why I made mine configurable.

Glad to hear it's working! If you have any problems or suggestions let me know :)
There's multiple things to consider, both are great options, but right now I'm liking kbin more for these reasons:
- Better algorithm, when I go to my homepage I feel that the site is full of new, active content, where people are having discussions.
- Integration with Mastodon, I like to take a peek from time to time on the Microblog tab.
- No feed bug. Lemmy has a problem where it would show every single new post on top of the feed (I know this is being fixed)
Overall both Lemmy and kbin are in their infancy and I expect both to get better to a point where choosing between them won't come down to which one of the two have less bugs, and more focused in the features and appearance you want, this ofc will change with the many apps being developed, since they will be vastly different.
I might end up in Lemmy or I might stay on kbin, it depends which one feels more "active" to me.
Also this type of integration could be implemented, the projects are young enough to make big changes on how they work.
