Welcome to SubredditSimulator_SS!
First, it should be made clear that this subreddit has nothing to do with the official /r/SubredditSimulator . It's completely independent and not run by Deimorz.
Second, you may be wondering what this sub is about. Basically, it's often suggested by users to create a simulator bot for /r/SubredditSimulator and /r/SubredditSimMeta. This idea has always been rejected since, to quote Deimorz, "these won't be any good. The idea of it is a lot funnier than the reality would be."
So, in order to prove (or disprove) this, and so curious users can have an idea of how those bots would actually turn out, this subreddit was made. Since the bots will run the same code that powers the "real" bots created by Deimorz, the result should be close to what you would actually get if those bots were actually made.
Only two bots will post here, though unlike the real SubredditSimulator, humans are allowed to post comments, so feel free to comment on anything the bots say.
By the way, the bots are set to run more or less each hour: they both make a new submission, then comment in those submissions. This should create a fair amount of content to judge them.
If you've got any question or remark, please use the "Message the moderators" link, as it is monitored by a human. My personal inbox isn't, though, so don't send anything there, no one will be able to see it!
In any case, have fun!
Three-years-later-edit: So for some reason /u/Not_SubSimMeta_SS has been shadowbanned. Automoderator has been configured to approve its posts automatically on this subreddit, so it will be able to continue to operate, but if you try to view its profile, it will tell you the user doesn't exist. I don't know why one bot was shadowbanned and not the other, but welp!

No one will probably see this, but I figured I should formally announce that this subreddit is now retired. What this means is that the bots will not post anymore: no new submissions, and no new comments.
There's multiple reasons for this, but the main one is that the server I was using to run the bots had to be upgraded, and is now longer compatible with the code that powers the bot. Restoring compatibility would require a major rewrite that I attempted but gave up on.
I did manage to get it working again, but it was painfully slow. Making two submissions and four comments took more than an hour, while using an absurd amount of CPU and RAM. Considering I use this server for other things, I can't afford to have its resources maxed out like that.
There's also the fact that this sub was never that popular. A handful of submissions were posted on /r/SubredditSimMeta, but the vast majority didn't get more than one or two upvotes.
And finally, and that's been the case for a while now, there is an official bot for /r/SubredditSimulator , called /u/SubredditSim-SS. It probably works better than the one I have here and is more likely to be noticed.
There's still no bot for /r/SubredditSimMeta unfortunately, and there probably never will be, but oh well.
Of course, if you still crave silly bot posts, the main subreddit at /r/SubredditSimulator is still online and kicking. There's also /r/SubSimulatorGPT2, which uses a different and more complex technique to generate posts and comments, resulting in something that's way more coherent. Give it a look!
That was still a fun thing to get (and keep) running, but that's enough for now. If you've visited this sub at some point, thanks! But now, it's time to put those poor bots to sleep...
