apollo-backend VS Shreddit

I believe this endpoint is the only way to retrieve json with posts from Reddit, so every single app would use it. Even Apollo used it, although it did it with OAuth. See this line:

Disclaimer: it's been quite a while since I've last looked into Reddit API, so I could easily be wrong.

I'd consider platform and infra tools the kind of projects that require DSA. As for product, this is the typical kind of projects I've worked on: https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend which doesn't have any LC stuff. But I get that things are very different in big tech / FAANGS.

Since Apollo’s backend server is now open sourced, it'd be great if we could install the server on a Raspberry Pi or something so one can get notifications and other features that rely on it.

5. Apollo Backend: - Set up an Apollo backend server using a community-driven platform like https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend. - Design and implement the backend infrastructure for SecurIoT, including data storage, authentication, and API endpoints. - Integrate the backend with the frontend components of SecurIoT. - Thoroughly test the backend functionality, ensuring it supports the required operations and scalability.

The Backend was open sourced to counter U/spez Bullshit arguments about inefficient code creating too many API requests

See here https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend

On this same call, Huffman claimed that Apollo employed "scraping", a technique of programmatically fetching a webpage to process its contents.[d] Scraping is largely considered bad practice in web resource development, as it is not using resources as they were intended, and can be costly to the party being scraped. This is especially true when the same data is available via an API (Application Programming Interface), which is the intended method of programmatically fetching website content. Christian refutes Huffman's accusation, and has open-sourced Apollo's server code to prove it does not scrape reddit. I have seen no credible claims or evidence that Huffman is correct.

You could totally do everything you want to, except it's not as simple as making Reddit API requests because there's this: https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend

Some scripts like https://github.com/x89/Shreddit look promising, and I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on it just once I make sure my whitelist IDs are good. However, it's probably not thorough enough to hit all my content. My reddit data has over 68,000 comments.

this may no longer work do to the recent API changes, but you can do this easily with shreddit

Just for the sake of general interest, scripts like this already exist (and that one has an option to edit posts to add lorem ipsum nonsense).

I recommend x89/Shreddit

Ah, it’s not so bad. I recommend x89/Shreddit on GitHub to remove your comments, as it edits them first, and then deletes.

If any subreddit mods read this, thank you for doing this. I understand that taking down something that you poured so much energy and effort into is a tough decision. But it's for the best.

I used shreddit[1] to remove my account's posts/comments. It's infuriating to read this line:

> Back in April, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman told The New York Times that the site wanted to start getting paid for helping to train some of the big AI chatbots.

I hope this protest shows the leadership that users have the power.
