This bot meta as hell

This is the reason why for me, I actually took it one step further and rebuilt a front end news site with Django and shared the link out with friends who are interested in the same topics, added a discussion feature. Essentially, I have a python script that runs and pulls RSS feed data. If the whole article isn’t included then it uses Asyncio, aiohttp, and Beautifulsoup to pull in the article. Dump all that to a Postgres instance then have Django run on top of it. It’s like deconstructing news to reconstruct it
Reddit has been shit for over a decade now and the mods were a big reason for that. I’m completely switching to Lemmy by the end of the year and any subs that don’t exist on Lemmy that exist on Reddit I’ll just create myself. Maybe even write a bit that takes top posts from the niche reddit subs I like and posts them here to get people to convert.
