After reading this post and many comments supporting the use of a bot, I started testing a repost bot (initially announced here) on a test community.

It seems to be working well so far, with posts every 10mins. Since it uses GitHub Actions, there’s no hosting aspect involved. Although the actions might not start exactly every 10mins, which means in some cases the posts maybe be a bit more delayed, no hosting means it will work as long as the GitHub Actions service is not shut down.

Unless there’s serious opposition (happy to hear thoughts in the comments), I plan to deploy it here starting next week. If you simply do not like bots or don’t want to get spammed, you can select “Block user”.

    I don’t know how to discover those (since rss doesn’t explicitly inform us about deletion, the API might but it’s $$$). If someone has an idea, I will welcome a PR.
