Amazing timing, I literally set this shing up 1 minute ago to post the reddit rss feed to town because I was bored. I don't want your work to go to waste so if you want to finish it, I'd like to switch to yours 😅
Does this use the API? Will it keep working after July 1st?
A: Nope, it uses a combination of the public feed and scraping old.reddit.com. So, as long as those are still available, it will continue working. And even if they close those sources, there will probably be new ways to achieve the same effect. “Content, eh, finds a way.”
Indeed. When I first looked into Lemmy, the custom emotes had terrible performance (like 30 seconds to load a post if there were multiple in it) so I never looked into adding any.
Haha. Just be carefull, if you select only english, people who haven't set their language to anything yet will potentially not see your posts/comments. I've currently set enlish, spanish, german, esperanto and undetermined for this instance but I'm not sure if those automatically become the default for new users or if it's just undetermined.
Full disclosure: i copy pasted the entire thing i believe from feddit, just supposed to not get me sued. Data retention is quite tricky for federated services since other instances could store things for longer than the home instance.
Since this is supposed to be a site similar to reddit, it isn't planned to regularly automatically delete posts.
I saw that Lemmy has a built-in IP address anonymiser so I think those don't get stored at all.
I hope that this answer satisfies what you wanted to know. I'm just a guy hosting a monero forum and would never do any corpo privacy invasion bullshit with the monero.town data but the truth is that the instance is publicly accessible and on top of that federated so if anyone wants to scrape all the data, they easily could do it.
