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website (which I’ve actually lost the link of and can’t find again, help) to find a limited amount of users, some with outdated usernames.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 I’ve already tried using the Wasteof Wrapped website to find a few, but the results are incomplete and outdated when people have changed their usernames.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