I would like to make a bot that gets the top posts from specific subreddits and posts them here. Is there any useful guide to do something like this?

Would this be bad Lemmy etiquette?

    I think lemmit.online is already doing something like this and that whole instance is designed for it. They even have a community for suggestions on which subreddits to do. I would start there to avoid having to completely reinvent the wheel (unless you are into building things then by all means)

    I’ve been wanting to do this as an experiment. I exported my Reddit history (15,474 comments over the last 12 years) and I wanted to test out making a LLM bot of myself on my own instance.

    I’ll probably hate it, but it seems like a good learning experience.

      That is an awesome idea! Oh my, it would be so interesting to have a conversation with yourself.
