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:
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website (which I’ve actually lost the link of and can’t find again, help) to find a limited amount of users, some with outdated usernames.
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.
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.
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 I’ve already tried using the Wasteof Wrapped website to find a few, but the results are incomplete and outdated when people have changed their usernames.

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
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
No, I was still finding some yesterday. Could you do the same things with comments though?
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
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
If you wanted to do that it would take you roughly 194 days to get all ~70k posts currently
