  • This is certainly not spam but rather a blog response, a time honored practice as old as blogging itself.

    OP’s article links to the source article (albeit via its fedipost rather than its blog post; maybe best to link both) and contributes to the online discourse with a long form reply, detailing a possible solution.

    Mischaracterizing such a clearly well-intentioned contribution as “blog spam” is disingenuous.

    edit: thanks for retracting your comment. I hope my retort won’t dissuade you from continuing to engage in this community :)



































  • I think something like this can work, if you bring humans fully into the loop. Posts should be made by people, so that someone’s responsible for the thread that gets made.

    What about a ‘repost queue’ of Reddit that Lemmy users can sign up for? Having signed up to this queue, e.g. for /r/rust, I’d be presented with a list of the posts on /r/rust that do not yet exist on .dev/c/rust. Every hour or so I could opt to do a repost to Lemmy, from my own account.

    In other words you’re just facilitating a manual action that’s already taking place.
