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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, it's not super bad but definitely a bit surprising.

Here's the script. It's pretty messy as it was supposed to be a one-off script when [email protected] migrated to [email protected] 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.

Gotcha thanks for sharing. Hope the migration goes well :)

I think blaze needs the good luck more than me. I'm not a part of this community as I don't watch movies and TV, I was just doing this upon request. Granted me my first ever mod/admin warning though lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I'm okay. I'm clarifying the admin warning, I'm a bit surprised as last time we didn't have any issue with [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 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.
