Since the general interaction on hacker news with up/down votes and comments seems quite similar to Lemmy/kbin, I was wondering…
Is that technically possible? Would it make sense? Has this been considered?
You must log in or register to comment.
Seems technically feasible, unsure if the owners would want to. Someone could write a bot that provides essentially a read-only export of hacker news so that lemmy/kbin users can at least get a read-only view.
Comments and upvotes included?
Comments for sure, upvotes sorta, but unless there’s a way to tell the instance that the other instance is read-only, local users can also vote and that will change the count locally on your instance.
