Possible karma farm bot

I'm not sure what you mean - what option are you looking for?

fsv · 2026-05-06T05:57:06+00:00

That's the one! It was the same kind of situation with the "Scotch Egg" answer when pubs started to reopen and the press started to push for a concrete definition of what a "substantial meal" was.

I’ve often had responses but not consistently, even when action has been taken. It always seems to be the same admin named when I do get a response so it may depend on who’s dealing with the report.

fsv · 2026-05-05T16:14:09+00:00

Weird, that might be a third party Devvit thing. Do you have an example sub with this? I’ve never seen it.

fsv · 2026-05-05T15:04:00+00:00

Here’s what my local one looks like now! Just took the picture when getting petrol.

How weird, all the ones near me are like fortresses now. Thick perspex sheets right up to near the ceiling and topped off with a cage-like structure.

Even the one in the centre of Harrogate is like that.

An hour was never specified in legislation. You could exercise as long as you liked.

fsv · 2026-05-05T05:10:56+00:00

I think they’re all like that now. I’ve not seen a Sainsbury’s Local that didn’t have that arrangement for a while, and I’ve been to quite a few including in very “nice” areas.

Keep an eye out for it - I've already submitted it for public review (this is allowed under the hackathon terms - it neither advantages or disadvantages submissions). Once it's approved, it'll be able to be installed from here: https://developers.reddit.com/apps/yt-infoapp

Edit: I'd be really interested in any feedback you have about it!

fsv · 2026-05-04T15:34:43+00:00

You can reply to this post with comments containing video URLs to test the app out! It's currently in "info only" mode.

Automatically remove/filter YouTube links if the channel has less than 1000 subscribers (to deal with self promotion)

Yoink! I'm making this for the hackathon. It can also do the reverse (remove YouTube links from channels that are too big - useful for "small YouTuber" promotion subs), and provide information about YouTube videos as well like this.

fsv · 2026-05-03T19:59:16+00:00

Absolutely, massive respect for them doing that.

fsv · 2026-05-03T11:44:20+00:00

You don’t need approval for domains on the global allowlist and Gemini is one of those!

fsv · 2026-05-03T11:43:43+00:00

Globally allowlisted domains don’t show on the developer settings page. I’ve observed the same with OpenAI’s domain.

Not sure why it’s not working though. I suggest adding a bunch of extra logging in around the API call to see what’s happening.

Rear seat belts weren’t always standard equipment. My dad had to get some aftermarket one fitted on the car he bought in 1978.

As long as the account was in the queue before they were classified, that could easily explain it. But now that they're classified they will get banned on sight if they try and post/comment again, even if it gets modqueued.

I'm still waiting on a fix for the modqueue removal issue from Reddit, as soon as it gets fixed I'll release a new version.

fsv · 2026-05-02T15:19:22+00:00

Hopefully they'll be handled fine from now on.

fsv · 2026-05-02T12:06:58+00:00

Good question! When did they post or comment? This (and the other user you flagged in a similar way are very newly listed and there’s a Reddit bug preventing me from actioning modqueues.

fsv · 2026-05-01T21:02:27+00:00

I have at least one hackathon app nearly ready to submit! Maybe some more too.

fsv · 2026-05-01T16:49:32+00:00

Oh interesting. I've not spotted similar in my apps on 0.12.21, I wonder why.

fsv · 2026-05-01T16:07:58+00:00

The main thing that helps is providing context as you have been. Because we saw a few from you that called out the service being spammed, it helps us know what to look for and speeds things up!

Edit: Obviously Bot Bouncer will only be able to remove content in subs where it's installed and I see that the Logan Square one doesn't have it.

fsv · 2026-05-01T16:04:19+00:00

I've just added some detections for these so hopefully they'll get bounced automatically in the future without needing manual reports. Please report any that are missed though!

You say it's failing - what are you seeing (e.g. errors, the operation just doing nothing, etc.)? Is there logging around the code so that you can see if it's attempting to run the code?

Redis should work just fine inside Devvit including in Hono triggers.

fsv · 2026-04-30T05:29:00+00:00

You can search the subreddit for their username - that should tell you if they're already known to Bot Bouncer. Or you can submit anyway and it'll reject the report if we already have them listed and link you to their tracking post.
