Exactly my current setup :)

Yeah.. that Reddit get request would probably get shutdown by Reddit so quickly.

But hey, maybe it's something to live with if it means this community's activity improves..

Didn't have to think twice to get Sync Ultra lifetime for the amazing value Sync has been in my life the past 10 years. Even paid for previous Sync for Reddit versions. Easy decision. Thanks LJ

Using a bot for a period of time to generate activity and then disabling once engagement is sustained, vs sticking to humans but have zero engagement... I think it's pretty clear where the value is. Thanks for creating that bot :)

@RandomDude please!

Edit: another thought, given that this is the fediverse, nothing really prevents the creation of a community (in this instance or another) that has the bot, and experiment to see which approach is most effective.

Edit 2: I just realized, if it's based on RSS, it won't auto update if the past is deleted or marked as expired right?

Now B is a cause I can get behind...

As a sync user I support this and would like to see it lol

I subscribe to RSS feeds for subreddits that don't exist on Lemmy just so that I don't give them any clicks or ad revenue.

For answers to questions or problems that are only available on Reddit, I turn on my favorite privacy browser, I hold my breath, go to that specific post, get my answer, and gtfo asap.

Like the saying goes, never stick it in crazy. But if you have to, be protected.

Like @skye pointed out, I suspect it might indeed be based on region. I remember another thread where a user reported seeing Sync rated at 3 stars, whereas others reported 5 stars.

Top 6 app behind X (still can't get used to that stupid name) and before Facebook lite... not bad

This GitHub repo seems pretty straightforward enough to repurpose for bapcsalescanada purposes, to mirror r/bapcsalescanada posts to this community via it's rss feeds...

I second this. As it currently stands, this community is already dead (last post before the two today was a month ago). And I like the mirroring of posts from r/bapcsalescanada since the source of posts is human in origin.

A quick GitHub search yielded this repo, which could probably be forked to mirror r/bapcsalescanada rss posts to this community. Unfortunately I don't have the means to host this bot full time.

Would you pay a yearly fee to continue getting updates for your now no longer being updated but perfectly fine otherwise phone? I would.

Good question. At that point I'd explore replacing the OS altogether with GapheneOS or LineageOS.

When it comes to cars though, I don't find FSD an appealing enough value to continue paying (or even begin to pay in the first place). But to your point, that doesn't mean Tesla shouldn't price it how they want and people to buy it if they wish.
