my bot made a repost that got on the front page. But I hope that those c/ get other people to post

I'll make a post there. I do plan to make my script open source. Maybe that sub could help find c/ to add to revive

I don't consider a post every other day to a c/ to be spam.

Except it's not dead Internet because I actually interact with the comments on my Post. Plus repost do actually have a life of their own weirdly enough.

So I made a script that post once every 8 hours or where I start the script. The script will post to random c/ that has subscribers but low activity from a corresponding subreddit in hopes of jump starting it.

I do like the features where the image/video is simply put the url into the URL of a lemmy post so Reddit host the file and lemmy instances simply have to send text.

So far it has been a success. While I was building the script and making it post to my very niche 1 sub community the post ended up getting a few comments and over a dozen up votes. Which is great because I got surprised and I got to engage with other users and learn about something new.

Really the challenge is to find existing communities that don't have a active counterpart, have subscribers, have little to no activity, and something I have knowledge over. It would be strange to have something posted randomly and know nothing about that community or post or I have to spend 10 minutes figuring out what got posted

Yeah it's weird that top post for the day doesn't work

I had the idea to revive dead c/ by reposting from reddit. It's controversial to use a bot

I'll make a post on c/ fediverse and open source to generate ideas of how to do this this

App dev can be outsource, but it really doesn't matter who run the hard coded instance. It could by. Sh.itjust.works. it would be an issue if the app took off and the instance wasn't ready for the influx.

Maybe it picks an instance at random to distribute the load.

My original idea in my head was that the app developer would run the instance that was hard coded

Lemmy is more stable than what that graph makes it out. I'm not sure how easy it is to track fediverse since instances can pop up at any moment then grow or even the domain can change for an instance

I do have the idea of making an app it makes an account for one instance and uses that "log in with Google/apple id". Then people can learn later that you you can join other instances or log in via web browser.

The server can be simple lemmy or mastodon server and the app can just be variant of Voyager or mastodon app. Someone need to get rid of copyright material then hard code an instance.

I would do it myself but I can't get an AI to code apps

The other option is to have an app that browser based
