So that if you paste a link to one of those big social media platforms, it offers to replace it with a working alternative front-end.
Lemmygrad has a bot that replies with mirrors to posts that contain non-free platforms: https://lemmygrad.ml/u/TankieReplyBot
Here’s the code if you want to run your own: https://gitea.elara.ws/Elara6331/lemmy-reply-bot
@mwalimu@baraza.africa: For your consideration.
Thank you for the heads up. Currently we have the archives function. Will test the auto-reply bot.
"# Returns archive links for URLs preceded with “!archive”
You could potentially for every community synced to a subreddit have it redirect to the exact post. I think I saw a website that was tracking reddit to community migrations too. could use that to autoconvert r/<thing> to !c/<thing>@<instance> for you.
On lemmygrad we have that already.
