r/fresh_funny

Because r/funny is terrible. I wrote a bot that takes the top r/funny posts, checks them against KarmaDecay, and posts them here if it finds no matches. It's a work in progress and only as good as KarmaDecay, so there will be some duplicates. Looking at it now, however, it seems to be mostly OC.

These posts should be the hot posts from r/funny, but OC only, no reposts (at least those detected by KarmaDecay).

My computer doesn't have 100% uptime, but should rarely go too long without posting new stuff.

If I get more voting subscribers, I can start posting more. As it is, if I post too much it all has the exact same priority and creates clumps on your front page.

I hope you enjoy this, and let me know what you think. Note that I only check u/fresh_funny 's messages every once in a while, mostly to laugh at the people complaining about me reposting their submissions, so use mod mail if you actually want me to see it.

NOTICES:

(11/24/2015) Sorry about the downtime, computer died and I realized I didn't have the script saved anywhere.

(9/16/2015) Up to 8937 posts and 3548 reposts. Still 28%. New (and improved) graphic.

(5/26/2015) Since 3/30/2015, I have posted 3547 posts and filtered out 1377 reposts. That means about 28% of all posts that reach the top couple pages of r/funny are already on Karmadecay. Here's a nice graphic over repost frequency over time.

(5/6/2015) The user u/TotesHuman appears to be a bot reposting the top comment for each post. I don't really have a problem with this. If all you want is the top comment, you don't have to click through my link.

(1/19/2015) The comment linking to the original post no longer uses the short url, so it should work on mobile apps.

(1/19/2015) All posts that are NSFW should now be marked as such automatically.

A surprising number of posts in r/funny are being removed by the mods after I've already posted them here. Not sure what I should do about that.

Occasionally a post will not have a link to the original. This is because reddit times out when I try to post it (and it would be a massive pain to tell the script to try again later). You can still go to "Other discussions" and find the original in r/funny (unless it has been removed for a rule violation).
