Hi, I’m learing python and I was thinking about createing Lemmy bot.
A bot that would find the equivalent to a subreddit on lemmy, or correct users if they link a community incorrectly.
Definitely this. Was thinking about making a bit myself to do this as the whole direct link thing is such a pain but I don’t have any experience in making bots so I’d be even happier if someone else manages to make one!
Something that automatically converts
https://beehaw.org/c/support
to[support](/c/support)
so they are useable across instances.___
I made a couple of bots that could give you some ideas:
https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-ocr-bot
Amputatorbot!!
RemindMe bot is awesome
I’m sure something like AutoMod would eventually become useful for community moderators.
Automoderator!
A repost detecting bot might be helpful
None, honestly.
Same. Bots are spam.
Nah there are many useful bots that help people.
For example unit conversion, reminders, sources, bots that get triggered when you mention a series or book or stuff like that and provide a small Summary of said thing.
We aren’t talking about spam bots that plaster the place with onlyfans shit or something.
Video/image download bot would be super useful.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
deleted by creator
And I would like to see a federation-wide policy that all bots must be clearly identified as bots (an attribute on their account). And features in the site code to block all bots as a user preference.
Lemmy has an option to mark accounts as bots. For example, check out the profile of @ParentiBot@lemmygrad.ml.
Also, there is a setting to block bots.
