You'd probably have to jump through several hoops to make that happen. Libreddit doesn't offer any ActivityPub API to follow directly, or even RSS feeds that might be used by a bot to post updates to Lemmy.

But subreddits still provide an rss feed, just add /.rss at the end, like this should work with any rss reader: https://www.reddit.com/r/fediverse/.rss So theoretically it should be possible, until they shut this "loophole" down

Yeah, I don't know anything about the state of open Reddit endpoints. Seems they're intent on closing down non-Google/Gemini access to some of them? 🤷

But if the /.rss "hack" helps setting up a Lemmy bot or at least track the communities with a feed reader, that's a small victory I guess?

Bots shat themselves here (or people writing like bots, no difference ¯_(ツ)_/¯).

Hi! This is just a friendly reminder letting you know that you should type the shrug emote with two backslashes to format it correctly:

Enter this - ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

And it appears like this - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you can use codeblocks to show it how it is by the way

like this ¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯

That shows the exact code you typed without applying any formatting to it whatsoever.

Fuck you, I've been on Reddit long enough. Why the hell this is still a thing on Lemmy? Can't you fix it or something?

It's not a reddit or lemmy thing, generally backslash is used as an escape character in a lot of programming languages. Here and in reddit comments accept markdown and markdown uses backslash as escape character.

It's a markdown issue due to how markdown styling works. It would be nice if we had a fancy editor like Reddit does since MD can be fussy in some circumstances, especially trying to make blank lines.

Accidentally deleted my original comment, so I rewrote it; not sure why other people copied it verbatim.

[–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

There is some delay in federation, so it's possible that some users saw both of your comments. I remember once got upvotes on a comment I deleted instantly.

No; libreddit is just a read-only frontend for Reddit.
