Sketchpad VS Lemmy

Also I'm gonna try and download all of the trans subreddits using this script https://github.com/Watchful1/Sketchpad/blob/master/postDownloader.py. hopefully I can get it working tomorrow.

Looks like there are also some unofficial, faster ways. But I don't know if they work: https://github.com/Watchful1/Sketchpad/blob/master/postDownloader.py

A while back I wrote a fairly popular script that used the pushshift api to find overlapping users between subreddits. This doesn't work anymore since the api is down, so I threw together an updated script that does the same thing using the subreddit dump files.

If you actually just want to level comments I have an example here https://github.com/Watchful1/Sketchpad/blob/master/load_top_level.py

I have a script here that lets you download a specific subreddit or users entire history using pushshift. It's a good example of how the url works and how to iterate through results based on timestamp. You can add a q=keyword parameter to filter to only submissions/comments matching a specific keyword. And you could remove the subreddit parameter if you want data from all of reddit.

I have an old script I wrote a long time ago to fetch only the top level comments in a thread here, which isn't quite what you're trying to do but should be a good example.

In addition to the dump files, pushshift offers an API with powerful filtering options. The main limitation is that it takes quite some time to download a substantial amount of data. If you have a use case that doesn't cleanly align to specific subreddits, take a look at my api download script here. Again I'm happy to work with you to build something for a specific use case.

There was a script posted at https://github.com/Watchful1/Sketchpad/blob/master/overlapCounter.py This does exactly what I need by using the pushift api, but seems too slow to work as a web app, and also I have no idea where to begin in converting the script to a web app.

Lemmy is like Reddit and here because it has threaded comment discussions.

It's also federated, so you can pick a server you like and have discussions with users from various servers together.

Some Reddit apps switched to supporting Lemmy instead when they were kicked off the API.

Seems functionally similar to Lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

There was some talk back in June of migrating or setting up a parallel community on Lemmy. Did anything ever come of that? If not, would anyone be interested in helping set one up?

Because they are all different deployments of Lemmy [0]?

[0] https://join-lemmy.org

Local servers (dietpi, Freedombox, YUNoHost or similar solutions) which can be used to host different solarpunk content and setup instances on the fediverse (like peertube, mastodon, Lemmy etc.)

The entire page is based on Lemmy (https://join-lemmy.org/).

I disabled a ton of features and interface parts, as IMO the original lemmy interface is super noisy.

Runs on bare-metal with docker-compose. For the facelift, just good old CSS :)
