I’m thinking of looking at the Lemmy api and that’s best done when you have some actual problem to solve!
So, is there any bot that you’d like to see?
You must log in or register to comment.
Maybe a “good bod”, “bad bot” detection bot? I imagine a lot of people won’t actually report a problem on GitHub all time (some bots don’t even leave their source code in their comment), so this way you get a way to reports issues+get an example, or to see when it works fine.
AutoModbot, autotldr, remindme, top posts And lemmy URL fixer (transform regular lemmy link to federated one e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/memes to !memes@lemmy.world).
@autotldr@lemmings.world is live now!
Is it possible to make it comment on a specific post? Mention in does nothing
It probably doesn’t know about the community, or it doesn’t have support for the site. Can you link me to the post (either here, or in PM, it’s up to you).
Edit: Probably found it, it doesn’t have any support for news.sky.com, shall I add it?
Thanks for your answer. idk about adding it, the article sounded interesting but idk how relayable this news site is and how much work it takes. I guess it’s up to you :)
Added it along with the ability to respond to mentions. Once it’s deployed, it should respond to your mention (hopefully, it was kinda huge overhaul of the code).
Worked on my mention :)
Just throwing out an idea, feel free to ignore it XD
I think that if one would write a quick “how to write a site handler” with a built-in template (like I’ve seen used), I’m sure many will contribute and send PRs for their favorite sites. If you’re interested of course. I don’t mind volunteer for doing the writeup either.
If you feel up to it, I’ll gladly accept it! I’m planning on doing it myself, but I’m not sure when I’ll have the time.
One that inserts a comment randomly about jumper cables or the lochness monster
Maybe the remindme bot
Was thinking about that but it’s often considered annoying, so I thought I’d ask first.
I liked the summarize bot. That one was actually contributing to conversations.
Yeah, that one was definitely nice!
It’s funny you mention that. My friend’s teenage son had made a bot for Reddit years ago when it was a new thing while he was in a summer program for computer science. The bot would post theater times for latest movie releases in local subreddits and it was considered a helpful bot by most. I got used to relying on it quite a bit - until one time I took the family to what I thought was a Lego movie, but we ended up seeing Darren Aronofsky’s Mother! My father had came with two of my 2nd cousins and he was disturbed to say the least. When we got home, my dad was so upset that he beat me unmercifully with a set of jumper cables to teach me a lesson - you shouldn’t expose the family to such nonsense he said. Needless to say I will never rely on online bots for movie times with my family again.
Didn’t see this one coming. Good job sir
