A few years ago I created a Telegram channel which pulls around 10 top voted news every day from r/Vancouver and post it there: https://t.me/vancitynews It’s a handy way to get local news, try it out

Now I’m thinking: Is it a good idea to automatically post those news here to spark a discussions and make this community more alive? Is it even allowed to automatically post anything? What do you think?

I’m pretty sure that the new Reddit policy will not affect my channel which calls reddit.com just a handful times per day

    i agree with what they brought up, as we probably don’t want c/vancouver to be a carbon copy of r/vancouver, however i also think that fetching some valuable pieces of news (perhaps some of u/cyclinginvancouver’s posts, for instance) automaticatically here might make sense, at least initially?

      I’m going to reach out to u/cyclinginvancouver and see if they want to come over here as well. u/xlxoo would be a good addition too.

      If they aren’t interested in migrating here or cross-posting here with their blessing I think a bot that cross-posts their Reddit submissions once they reach a certain threshold of upvotes on Reddit here could be very beneficial while making sure it’s not “spammy”
