Reddit VS snoowrap

Slashdot, reddit, and HN are similar in that the source code was available. For HN, as part of arc under the Artistic license. All 3 abandoned public source code releases.

While it would likely have zero overlap with the code in use today if you look at the old code Reddit used to publish for voting the model at that point used to have flags/checks for :

I've been trying to host my own instance of Reddit from archived source code on GitHub. Even though I am aware that's probably not a good idea since many dependencies are broken and there's practically no documentation on anything (and it's really old legacy code), but I still decided to give it a shot.

Shh, don't tell spez, the code is already available on the github https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/

Automod to act based on keywords/domains/etc., ideally using the same language/flags/regex/etc. of the original automod (old code) so that it's possible to use existing code. (For detecting off-topic posts, enforcing a title format, reminding the users to add missing details to post, filtering profanity, shadowbanning spammers, etc.)

Reddit pre enshittification is actually open source so spinning up your own Reddit instance should be trivially easy. I’m very surprised no one did this after the API protests started

There are already 1:1 reddit clones based on older versions of their software that was open source: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit

I've look at the source code on https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap/tree/master but the code looks very confusing so I still dont know how it works. Can someone explain? thanks!

There is. Use something like https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap and it's easy

You can access directly the official reddit API from this library https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap It was wrappers around all the endpoints https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/

I found this library that I can use for streaming everything and from reading this other post on this Reddit it seems like I should first send the comments & submissions to a queue like Apache Kafka and then bulk insert them into my database. I've never used anything like this, so what do you guys recommend?

I use PRAW for the most time but I think otherRequester in this example should work.

Use snoowrap

The Reddit bot looks like it'll be easy. Using a package like https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap, it allows syntax like:

I'm learning some JavaScript so I figured I'd do some testing with the Reddit API with snoowrap. I wasn't aware of the API rules when I first started testing, I didn't have a descriptive user agent and I may have been unintentionally making more requests then I should've.
