As this project scales, how would you think of getting around the Reddit API limit problem?
The first idea is to scale horizontally. More instances run by different people, each of them running for different communities.
The second idea is a bit crazy but I would only be able to do it with some serious financial support and the help of a mobile app developer. Basically it would require a mobile app that could work as a client of both reddit and lemmy.
I also wonder if Reddit might see this as a TOS violation.
I do worry about it, but if it gets to this point, it would mean that this project would have started to make some noise. If it has started to get their attention, it would mean that the fediverse would be already reaching some critical mass.
I miss are the questions on niche subreddits, particularly hobby subreddits.
That’s exactly the type of community that I want to bring via alien.top. I started !makers, but it didn’t catch on. Can you give me a list of specific subreddits you want?
