I’d love a Firefox extension that crossposts to Lemmy whenever I upvote a Reddit post. The communities I follow on Reddit are still too niche on Lemmy. I want more of that content here but don’t want to spend the time re-posting manually.

Anyone seen an extension like this?

    Please don’t spam Lemmy with reddit stuff. If you are not the author of the post it makes no sense to cross post it to lemmy., because there will be no discussion out of it, just spam.

    I don’t think it’s technically possible. But I think there are instances that mirror specific subreddits via bots.

      It’s possible to make it, I’ve made ff extensions before.

      Just listen to the upvote button click, resolve the redirected url of the post, or copy the post text and submit the new post to a mapped community. Need to be logged in to lemmy .

      Edit: use regex to get a valid CSRF token before posting

    I don’t hate the idea. There is already a lot of reddit content reposted on Lemmy.

    Whenever i find repost spam bots the first thing i do is block them. I’m not aware of any extension like that, but it’s totally possible to make one
