If I don’t have a way of finding users more reliably, I’m going to give up at 2830… I’ve followed maybe 15 this week? It’s getting unfeasible

Some ideas I’ve had:

  1. Use the wasteof wrapped website (which I’ve actually lost the link of and can’t find again, help) to find a limited amount of users, some with outdated usernames.

  2. Use a reverse username checker for shorter names. For the unaware, a username check basically tries every username usually of a shorter length to see if it’s taken and logs the untaken ones. In this case it would remember the taken ones. This is possible for 2 and 3 chars (not necessary for 1chars though) but would take a long time for 4chars - it might still just be possible though.

  3. Just… ask the moderators for a list of usernames? If there isn’t one, asking for a way to find every user might be possible. It could be worth a shot.

  4. Crazy idea: today I found a user with 0 followers because the text やぁ was in a markovmoney post. This was in the user’s post as well - could it be possible to find users from markovmoney posts? Or is this just a one-time thing?

I’ve gotten to the point where finding new users to follow is becoming tedious. I need a reliable and preferably fast way to view all/almost all users on wo.m. Does anyone know of a way? I’ve already tried using the Wasteof Wrapped website to find a few, but the results are incomplete and outdated when people have changed their usernames.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :D How did you find all of these??

6/25/2024, 6:40:21 AM

I was just searching random things lol, but I’ve also thought of a good idea to help find more usernames: I could code a script that repeatedly fetches https://api.wasteof.money/random-post and then add the poster of the random post to a list of it isn’t already there. And then run another script that checks every item in the list to see if you are following them and adds them to a final list if you’re not

6/25/2024, 6:55:23 AM
cheesewhisk3rs:

Wait that’s a great idea :0

6/25/2024, 6:56:15 AM
a05fe6:

Yeah, but it would only find all the users who have ever posted, and I think you’ve probably followed almost all of them by now

6/25/2024, 6:57:15 AM
cheesewhisk3rs:

No, I was still finding some yesterday. Could you do the same things with comments though?

6/25/2024, 6:59:08 AM
a05fe6:

Oh yeah, probably. Good idea…

6/25/2024, 7:02:18 AM
a05fe6:

Another problem: I ran my code and it just says {error: “ratelimited -please try again later”} :P I’d have to add a very long delay between each time it receives a random post to fix this lol

6/25/2024, 7:23:43 AM
cheesewhisk3rs:

Hmm, I got that too, considering active users are the uses who post the most, this might not be easy to find users that way…

6/25/2024, 7:35:44 AM
a05fe6:

I’m going to run it overnight and see how many it can get. Now that I think about it I don’t think it would be very much at all lol

6/25/2024, 11:22:30 AM
cheesewhisk3rs:

Alright

6/25/2024, 11:27:40 AM
a05fe6:

The results are:

['silly', 'april', 'zu', 'factsbot', 'poppyrock2', 'oren', 'quantum-codes', 'lily', 'ultrongaming', 'allyz', 'breakingbot', 'jokebot', 'zer0', 'avocadocomics', 'late-is-cool', 'perrin', 'skylar', 'theglasspenguin', 'beemoviebot', 'zagle1772', 'copperfish', 'melony', 'irlnews']

You have probably already followed these people lol

6/25/2024, 9:21:31 PM

I already have a 70k post database, there's not much point in that

6/25/2024, 1:53:28 PM
cheesewhisk3rs:

Oh. Can anyone access it?

6/25/2024, 2:03:39 PM
radi8:

yes

6/25/2024, 6:11:37 PM
cheesewhisk3rs:

Where can you access it?

6/25/2024, 6:14:07 PM
radi8:

depends

6/25/2024, 6:16:27 PM
cheesewhisk3rs:

…can I access it? You’re not giving me a lot of info

6/25/2024, 6:26:30 PM
radi8:

you'd need the credentials to access it but even if I did give it to you (I'm not) you would know how to use it (and I doubt you do)

6/25/2024, 8:17:25 PM
cheesewhisk3rs:

Ok…

6/25/2024, 8:23:20 PM
radi8:

If you wanted to do that it would take you roughly 194 days to get all ~70k posts currently

6/25/2024, 8:16:40 PM
cheesewhisk3rs:

Oh…

6/25/2024, 8:23:06 PM
