Is the Patreon importer broken again or something? Some artists haven't been updated in a while, at least a month, when they usually would be updated by now. How does the importer work anyway? Only when someone manually imports when they get around to it?

Is the Patreon importer broken again or something? Some artists haven't been updated in a while, at least a month, when they usually would be updated by now. How does the importer work anyway? Only when someone manually imports when they get around to it? Too bad it's not automatic. IIRC, I read that you can allow Kemono access to a key or something so your imports are automated? Should be the default, IMO

Went back and checked, and this seems to be the case.
>Allow the importer to save my session key for auto-import. If enabled, new posts will automatically be imported every 24 hours without manual intervention. Direct message importing still requires manual import. See notes below for security information.
It should not be optional, but mandatory / just how it works, in my opinion.

And then the importer account's get banned since the paysite detected automated usage of the API key

Well done!

Idk. I'm getting the "failed to update" garbage right now. Can someone help me get a Patreon user updated. I believe I have been blocked for updating.

They are all default on, except for DMs. I *think* if you enable it, DMs are really imported but just not publicly displayed because they may have unrelated private things in there. Also, some people have started sending messages with the user's name in them.

>the patreon importer just scrapes every artist you follow automatically, so you might not have been specifically trying to scrape their content
>you’re importing the artist, but can’t import their dms because you haven’t made a kemono account for [insert reason here] (Note; from the patreon importer page, ”You must be logged in to import DMs, so that you can approve them.”)
>you don’t approve the dms because they contain personally identifying information (such as a name, like anon you’re replying to mentioned, or some id the artist made up), which means importing them would get you caught and kicked off their patreon at best
