Sorry for the delay, there were multiple problems between my exams and some difficulties reconfiguring everything but GifReversingBot and vredditshare are back! There will be downtime again for most of the day on the 18th but we should otherwise be back to normal.

To use vredditshare, simply reply /u/vredditshare to a post containing a Reddit hosted video or a comment with a link to a post containing a Reddit hosted video. vredditshare will then send you a link to the mirrored upload. An example is in the comments below.

Longer uploads (over a minute) are hosted on Catbox, which is funded through donations from its users. If you want, you can help donate at the patreon page to make sure GifReversingBot and vredditshare can keep uploading long content.

EDIT: 5/25/20 NSFW content is not fully supported right now. You can attempt it as long as your content is marked NSFW but you will probably be rejected. I'm working with Gfycat to fix the problem and I'm hoping to have a resolution shortly.

Have fun!

1. Why is the bot is taking so long or not responding?

   This can happen for a couple of reasons.

   • The bot decided for some reason it couldn't complete your request. This is usually because of the size or length of a gif/video.
   • The bot got a large influx of requests and is trying to work it's way to you. Or it is working on a big request.
   • The bot crashed. This doesn't happen as often anymore but with the wide variance of data it handles and the temperamental nature of gif hosting websites, edgecases are quite abundant. I'm messaged when the bot crashes so no worries, I'll get around to fixing it.

Moderators can enable automatic summoning on posts in their subreddit. It works through vredditshare replacing AutoModerator summons with it's own.

1. Add vredditshare as a moderator. It only needs posts permissions.

2. Have the AutoModerator summon the bot. You can do this through a couple ways. For example, this summons the bot on every link submission.

    type: link submission
    comment: "/u/vredditshare"

The bot will mimic settings on the comment when it replaces it. For example, if you sticky the AutoModerator comment

    comment_stickied: true

the bot will also sticky it's comment.

This is a simple example but since vredditshare will replace any AutoModerator comment that summons it, you are only limited by what you can do with AutoModerator.
