Use a secondary bot from a different instance to crawl posts from communities that don't federate with db0?

Just something that crossed my mind right now. Sounds complicated and you'd probably need to rewrite how the posts are handled so feel free to reject it.

We'd need to have a bot per instance to read the communities with. Something to think about longer term.

Naw, I was thinking of just using one LW account as a backup. If a community is on an instance that doesn't federate with neither db0 and LW then it's not really worth the effort to redirect people there.

[chris-y]

Ok, that should be doable

[M4rtineski]

@chris-y Don't make an account specifically for crawling. The modbot that you will be making for c/hmmm should be alright for this.

Marked as on hold, as we don't have communities on instances that don't federate with db0 at the moment.
