This single sentence is the best summary I have seen yet of the way Reddit admins/corporate is treating moderators and supporters: "The beatings will continue until morale improves" (media.kbin.social)
tunetardis, A better RSS experience
I've been playing around with RSS views of the fediverse hoping to get something comparable to multireddits, but there is a problem.
First of all, it is possible to get reddit feeds on both kbin and lemmy. The URLs look like:
https://KBIN_INSTANCE/rss?magazine=MAGAZINE_NAME https://LEMMY_INSTANCE/feeds/c/COMMUNITY_NAME?sort=new
Unfortunately, these are problematic when dealing with instances that are not your home instance. Any links to the post page will be absolute remote instance URLs, which means you cannot interact with the post (e.g. leave a comment). The URL really needs to be made relative to your home instance for that to work, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to fix that for a specific post. I can only fix the URL to the magazine/community itself and then hope to locate the post within it again.
If there is a way to get home instance-relative RSS feeds, I'm all ears! Failing that, I might work on a scraper that can take URLs of the form:
https://KBIN_INSTANCE/m/MAGAZINE_NAME@REMOTE_INSTANCE https://LEMMY_INSTANCE/c/COMMUNITY_NAME@REMOTE_INSTANCE
and generate RSS feeds out of them? But I don't want to reinvent the wheel if something like this is already possible?
It might also be useful to someone trying to write an app with a multireddit-type feature? I will definitely release source if I come up with anything.
EDIT: fixed a typo in URLs

Reddit comments getting reported
I run a decent sized sub. I’ve noticed the last few days that all my sticky posts that say where else you can find us are getting mass reported. I usually have like 6 reports a week. I’m getting a report on every post made that gets the sticky all of a sudden. I just took the word “Lemmy” out and we’ll see if that...
Made a post on r/ModCoord yesterday why mods should keep their subs closed no matter what. it reached the top of the sub then it got removed lol (media.kbin.social)
2fat4that, I know there’s only a few days before 3rd party apps no longer function so this idea may be too late…
I’ve been reading about scripts that automatically delete all of your Reddit posts and comments. I would like to see one of those scripts written into the third party apps so that I can nuke the site from orbit upon my escape. It’s the only way to be sure.

I haven’t seen this one publicized on the fediverse yet. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out, assuming the mods get enough time to find their own replacements.
