I am going to make a bot to cross post /r/conspiracy to /v/conspiracy ( conspiracy )

submitted by d8_thc

Although I believe reddits user base is extremely important for the spread of anti-mainstream news sources, I do think we could start a community here, because we don't really need anyone else.

Anyway, I'm playing with the reddit php sdk, and it looks like it should be pretty easy to grab posts. The problem is posting them here because I am not sure if there is an API.

Would anyone be interested in helping with this?

/r/conspiracy is filled with crap - that's intentional and designed to bury actually good submissions under a mountain of shit. Your suggestion is noted and /probably/ means well but objectively it is a bad idea to dump all of /r here.

I personally think it should be left to users to decide what gets posted here...

I agree, as long as the content is flowing here. If the content isn't flowing, it will likely keep the forum viable.

I'd hope some users who still go to Reddit will filter out the junk for us and posts links they find deserving.

I'd have to agree with you fenixrisin.. being a relatively new site, we should let it grow naturally and like you said not force feed it.

Can't do much in the way of helping out; but please do go ahead with this, seems like a great idea.

Sounds great that people want to write bots for whoaverse :)

There is currently only 1 API method (experimental) which you can see in action here but I would love to implement additional APIs to support developers of bots and third party applications. Issue #11 on GitHub is on this topic and if anyone else wants to work on this they are more than welcome. My current top priority is implementing subscriptions for subverses.

If you need any specific API calls, please post a new thread on /v/whoaversedev .
