Don't you ever want to become the enemy of the people? reddits-nightmare is a bot that downloads any post from any subreddit, along with the post's title, and reuploads it to Instagram, causing massive havoc and ruins relationships once your close friends or families find out.
After reddit's API changes, the reddit-snooper package that the bot depends on is currently broken. As that package is no longer maintained by its original author, I will need to fork it and work on a fix, which would take a long time. Until then, you will have to manually download the posts from reddit and place them in /assets/images/approved. The bot will then upload the images to Instagram as usual.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See Installing for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
You need Node.js and npm (which comes with Node.js) to use this bot.
Download the bot by going to the releases page and download the zip of the latest release.
After downloading Nodejs, npm and the bot, cd into the directory you installed the bot to and run npm i. It should automatically install all the needed modules for this bot to work.
This is the method I recommend as there isn't a reason for you to be performing the installation manually at all.
Run npm run start and the bot will perform first time setup. When the bot asks you if you want to use automated setup, type y or yes.
It will then ask you several questions. To find out what these questions mean and their significance, as well as how to answer them correctly (The bot is almost fool-proof, but that doesn't mean it can't be broken), please go to the config explanation page
Setting up manually is highly discouraged as human error will likely occur. But maybe you're adventurous. Head on over to the manual installation guide for instructions on how to setup this bot by yourself, without the help of modern technology.
