The automated migration notification is interesting, I assume it's everyone that was subscribed to the old one. How does it work?

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Not very well, given that I'm not subscribed and have no idea why I was notified.

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wasn’t subscribed either but maybe I upvoted something on here before? Not a huge deal but def curious how the automation for that was crafted.

Here's the script. It's pretty messy as it was supposed to be a one-off script when football@lemmy.world migrated to !Football@lemm.ee and was modified from sending a DM to just mass tagging people. You can't get the subscriber list via the API, so you have to check for activity.

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You've interacted with the community, the subscriber list isn't available from the the API AFAIK

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Might be worth adding to the API. This kind of notification is obviously useful but a bit surprising for people who once passed by and left a comment.

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

I 100% agree, it would be a much better solution and would integrate well with AutoMods. I suspect it's not available for privacy reasons since it would enable you to scrape every community someone is subscribed to, which people may not want exposed to regular uses. Similar to how you can't see who/what people voted.

I wasn't subscribed!

[–] Skavau@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It scraped comments, not subscribers. You commented here before.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I figured! Better way to get a larger audience I suppose. Seems, based on comments, some people were unhappy. I ended up subscribing to the new one though.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, seems like the notification isn't always welcome by some people. Glad to see it was useful to you, see you there!

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

It's nor supposed to help it, just explain
