maybe worth to name and shame those apps with lack of proper lemmy markdown support.

and ideally check if that has already been reported to their devs, and doing that if it hasn’t been done yet.

fwiw, LW/PFW require local users to be at least 18, or, if higher, whatever their local laws define. for other instances this is of course nothing we can control.

all content is generally owned by its creator and only the creator can change it. for lemmy 1.0 this will be changing for marking as nsfw and managing tags, so it seems that this is somewhat being relaxed.

at this point they’re long past the point where they’d be tolerated here to keep a single account. they’re constantly impersonating and harassing other people, they need the new accounts to be able to evade bans.

it just takes one mentally ill person to make it their hobby to harass people on the internet

only the person creating a post can mark their own account as bot or change the title

feel free to get in touch with us if you have issues with api limits. we can’t change them for individual users but we may be able to give you advice on more efficient usage.

your bot shouldn’t be logging in every time it checks what is going on; it’s best to persist the JWT you get from logging in and keep using it. the signup/login rate limit (which for whatever reason has the same counter) is relatively low to limit abuse, but the other endpoints should be more relaxed. you’d also have to hit pretty high request counts for us to even look at it. i recommend using a separate bot account (see bot rules).
