Reddy is a small app that I’ve developped over the past few days, and I want to show it to you so you can give me your thoughts, advices and ideas for the app.

Reddy is a GTK Linux app that takes an image (PNG, JPEG, GIF) at random in a subreddit and allows you to repost it in any Lemmy community. I made it principally to share content easily on Lemmy, as Reddit becomes more and more abusive and I think having copies of some content of reddit here on Lemmy is not a bad idea.

The app comes with a few restriction to prevent abuse:

  • You cannot repost the image twice in the same community
  • The reddit post link will always be shown in the body of the post. To give credit where credit is due.

Also, the app fetch the title and NSFW status of the reddit post automatically, but you can change it as needed.

The app require a reddit API client id/secret (The free API seems to still be working as of now) and a Lemmy account.

I’d love to hear your thoughts about such app, if you have any concerns as an user or as an instance owner please share your thoughts!

EDIT: Reddy is out for everyone to try out on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/net.krafting.Reddy
