A reddit to discord bridge. Currently functions 1-subreddit to 1-webhook

reddit-discord-bridge

A reddit to discord bridge. Currently, you may only have one subreddit per instance.

Motivation

I have been using a reddit bot for a while but it is no longer properly maintained so I decided to create this. The way the bridge works is it polls the Reddit API for new posts and then posts them to a Discord channel using Discord webhooks. I may look at converting this to a bot in the future. Since this has no interface, everything must be done through a config file. You can see a sample config file here.

reddit-discord-bridge's Issues

Not Posting, logs show "not valid JSON error"

Not sure if something changed on the reddit api, or maybe this is a result of rate-limiting. I've turned off the container for now to see if restarting it in an hour clears it.

Version: 1.0.3
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<!doctype "... is not valid JSON

Fix duplicated posts

In certain circumstances, the bridge will post multiple times. This obviously should not happen, each post should only appear once. A fix where the subreddit.json file contains the IDs of the 5 previous posts should fix this.

Crashing when a connection cannot be made to Reddit

Customize Embed

If I wanted to customize the embed it appears that sendToWebhook.ts needs to be updated. What would I need to bind my path to, in order to swap it?

Not posting updates

Bridge isn't posting updates, it may be best to refactor code to figure out what is happening
