Like when someone posts to the subreddit, is there a way I can
automatically feed the links to those posts to the our IRC?

Thanks all.

I run a copy of [jenni](https://github.com/myano/jenni).

I have it setup to send new posts into channels. This is my setup for
example:

http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/new.rss into #linux

http://www.reddit.com/r/mIRC/new.rss into #mirc

http://www.reddit.com/r/irc/new.rss into #mirc

My copy of jenni uses [bitly](https://bitly.com/), so I get the short
URL instead of the full URL. (You have to install some of the python
modules via pip, add a file called bitly.txt at the top of the
directory and add: "your_bitly_api_key,username" without the "").

Sweet. Do I need to make my own bot to do this?

You can "git clone .." the source or download a .zip archive from the
github page and put it onto a *nix VPS/machine. You can run it on
Windows, but it might give out error messages for certain things. Or
you can run it inside cygwin (I use to do this for a week or two and
it seemed to work fine).
