Don’t NFTs have more protections? If I sell you an NFT, I can’t unilaterally revoke it.

This is a great point because in the Lemmy UI, this information isn’t shown, and you can’t even list out all posts you’ve upvoted. As most of us coming from Reddit, we’re used to upvotes being private, and probably assume it’s the same. I understand the technical reasons for having the information public, but it is not clear from a user perspective that it’s public.

Also, can’t you just delete posts and comments like on Reddit?

Nothing ever dies on the Internet. With the federated nature of Lemmy, it’s possible for deletes to not sync across instances, especially if there’s defederation that happens.

What is the name of the show? I’m interested but unable to find articles about the show or who’s in it.

Just wanted you to know, I read this comment while browsing and having lunch.

It’ll be easy enough for them to block fediverser/0.1.0 user-agents, so perhaps that’s not a safe default value since it’s an easy target.

I’ll be honest, I saw a previous post of yours and was sceptical, but I think based on the idea, you’ve taken the best steps to make this a reality. Having the communities be part of instances where they fit in and can be maintained by moderators who care about the subjects is a challenge, but it does set it up for longer success.

As others have pointed out, there’s still an imbalance where people don’t realize they’re replying to shadow accounts (like this for example). Maybe a good solution would be to DM someone who replies to a comment by one of the bot accounts explaining what’s going on. Maybe asking the person who commented to reach out to the user on Reddit directly, and asking them to join the Fediverse would be a good solution and would bring in the human element to the process. This would avoid you having to build that feature (and likely appear to be a spammer) which might have a higher conversion ratio.

I’m not sure if you have a plan for it, but somehow allowing the Reddit user to take over the shadow account would probably achieve your goal of getting more people to convert, and would be a benefit to niche instances looking to grow their organic members. However you do this, it should be seamless to the new member, with the minimal number of hurdles.

Good luck!

Are you going to foot the bill for the Reddit API fees?

Have you considered what you will do if Reddit cuts you off? IANAL, but it’s fairly clear from the TOS that they will likely shut you down.
