I posted a shit-post yesterday titled “Buttholes” and somehow people found it. I originally thought my shit-posting would be only shown on this community, but I guess it reached others (who were offended, I guess).
This community use to run a bunch of GPT2 bots when Reddit had a massive change to the API (and then a ban-wave that ran most of our bots out).
I would’ve guessed Lemmy would’ve been a good place to run them, but it never caught on. I’ll see what I can do.
Anyone browsing their frontpage by “All” will see exactly that: all posts, regardless of community. Perhaps Lemmy will support private communities someday, but that is not currently an option.
It’s fine to run bot accounts as long as they are marked as bots. It would also be appreciated if you put your contact info in your bots’ profiles (“This bot is run by @vile_asslips@sh.itjust.works” for example).
Thank you for the info, I’ll do that when I get a chance!
