No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Using Python, How can I create a bot/script that let's me re-post a subreddit's post to Lemmy?

Just wanted to do a simple little project to practice my programming skills.

I just need to know the outline/backbone of things I should know to do this project.

This should get you started:

import requests

# Fetch post from Reddit API
def fetch_reddit_post():
    reddit_url = "https://www.reddit.com/r/{subreddit}/comments/{post_id}.json"
    subreddit = "python"  # Replace with the desired subreddit
    post_id = "abcdef"  # Replace with the desired post ID

    url = reddit_url.format(subreddit=subreddit, post_id=post_id)
    headers = {"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3"}

    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        post_data = response.json()
        return post_data
    else:
        print("Failed to fetch post from Reddit API")
        return None

# Post to Lemmy API
def post_to_lemmy(post_data):
    lemmy_url = "https://lemmy.ml/api/{version}/post"
    version = "v3"  # Replace with the desired Lemmy API version

    url = lemmy_url.format(version=version)
    headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}

    # Extract necessary information from the Reddit post
    title = post_data[0]["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["title"]
    content = post_data[0]["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["selftext"]

    # Create payload for Lemmy API
    payload = {
        "title": title,
        "body": content,
        "community_id": "abcdef",  # Replace with the desired Lemmy community ID
        "auth": "your_auth_token"  # Replace with your Lemmy API authentication token
    }

    response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        print("Post successfully created on Lemmy")
    else:
        print("Failed to post to Lemmy API")

# Fetch post from Reddit API
post_data = fetch_reddit_post()

if post_data:
    # Post to Lemmy API
    post_to_lemmy(post_data)

Nice work! A tip for the future you can use spoilers!

Like this!

Yeahhhhh

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your spoiler didn't work when viewing on kbin but his proper use of code framing for this purpose did work on kbin.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

kbin could use a different markdown compiler. It framed correcty with a code block but it does literally just font and a bit color.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't really understand how spoilers are relevant here.

So after you read this forced you probably know not EVERYBODY wants to scroll like 15 seconds just to see the next comment!

Thank You!

Thank you for explaining. 2 points of consideration:

Next time explain why something would be useful instead of just stating that they are. We can't read your mind.
Your spoiler doesn't work on my app so it just looks like regular text to me. Hence more confusion.

Regards, Yearly1845

Yeah thats the app problem. Thank you!
