Mirror Bot for Everybody

1  2019-09-16 by ChineseGuitars

Tried it in r/Patcels. It took 30 minutes to repost the whole first Fatrick sub. And that's only 175 submissions big. r/loganlynn was about 1k. That's partly because the reddit API only lets you post every two seconds, partly because I wrote it shittily. But you don't have to do anything while it works. At the moment, I can't post per bot with my current account (get a server error 500 for whatever reason).

Two things about the bot: 1) It's got a listening function (it turned it off for now, because of the errors), you can write a PM to me to trigger the bot, do it this way: to: [bot name] (in this case ChineseGuitars) subject: mirror body: [name of the sub you mod, where to copy to] [sub to copy from] (You have to be a mod for the bot to use it on your demand)

2) I'll make a little tutorial that explains how to use the script to make a bot account yourself, so everybody can have such a mirroring bot for themselves. Maybe u/quasi100 could upload the script to his archive.

I'll look into these error messages I mentioned tomorrow. Lazy as a Cumia.
