I don't see it as "syndicating" Reddit but spreading news curated by Brian over more channels.

We have regulars here who don't use Reddit.

And I rather prefer discussing them here than on Reddit.

I found those links very interesting and worthy of discussion. And we are currently not overwhelmed with moderation tasks.

I'm asking because just posting links is not our usual style here.

Update

I'm not talking about linking to Reddit but reusing the curated links posted there

    Maybe I'm still not understanding you. It seems to me that either

    1. You can manually take the links you're interested in from there and put them in a post here, either in Meditations or Perl News.
    2. You're thinking we should automate something.

    If the latter, it would be helpful if you could elaborate.

      I like the way curated quality links are posted one by one and are open to comments.

      A pure RSS feed or even feed aggregators of everything happening in the Perl universe has too much "noise" to be digested.

      It's also an incentive for other to regularly come back to PM if they find more quality posts here.

      And it helps interconnecting the different parts of the community.

      Yes we already have various "aggregation" nodelets here, but honestly I stopped reading them.

      For instance I think that conference talks don't have the audience they deserve.

      Normally I'm overwhelmed when I encounter them all in one place at Youtube and the comments there are not very meaningful.

      TPRC2025 is now publishing them one per day, which is IMHO a clever move. And Brian is forwarding them to Reddit.

      See https://www.reddit.com/user/briandfoy/submitted/

      Like that, we could have meaningful discussions about those talks.

      What I'm not sure of is ...

      • if posts consisting only of headline and a single link are not against PM culture and tradition.
      • where to place them.
      I think Hippo nailed it by suggesting to just try it for a little while and to see where it leads to.

      I thought of doing it semi-automatically by myself, by writing a nodelet-hack which scans the RSS and informs me about a new post from Brian and fills the post-form. Like that I only need to check and click.

      But in a try-out phase, I'd rather do it manually.
