Hey guys.
Im trying to fully move to lemmy.
Unfortunately many subreddits I was using - are not represented on lemmy. So I figured I would just sync content from reddit for those communities - so I scripted auto-reposter of top most popular reddit posts to lemmy.
but. im running into issues.
Lemmy communities that sometimes 0 content with last content sometimes posted 2 years ago - they ban me for “spam” when I auto post content even if their lemmy communities literally have no content…
This community just banned me, last post in that community was 2 years ago:
https://lemmy.ml/c/buildapcsales
What are they even moderating?
I cannot make this shit up.
Anyways - I would rather do my own server then deal with mods worse than on reddit that actually allows that.
Starting lemmy server - which hardware to get? Dedi? ram? cpu?
What does lemmy.world uses? Thank you.
Reddit has ads?
RedReader(Android app, FOSS, in f-droid and play store) has no advertisements.
You can use Firefox or Microsoft Edge to get extension support(ublock.) there’s other options as well. Via(Android) is really lightweight and has built in adblocking.
Theres oldlander extension for old.reddit.com.
You can also use the ublock element picker to filter the mobile pop up… Or clear your cookies (or disable them in site settings.)
yes I was using Firefox with ublock. and they started showing unskippable switch to mobile app message:
