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/supportto[support](/c/support)so they are useable across instances.___
RemindMe bot is awesome
Remindme! in 10 years
A repost detecting bot might be helpful
there was one on reddit called reportsleuthbot But isn’t it a little hard to make? It might be too complex for learning python…
fair point
One major bot that is fediverse specific. A community syncing bot. So if two communities from different instances want to, they could have a bot that crossposts everything between each other and delete one deleted between each other. A more advanced feature to have is to have it only do certain tags, so for example !linux@lemmy.ml with a
help/questionandfedoratags could be auto posted to !fedora@lemmy.ml, and !linux_questions@lemmy.ml .On that note, I’d like to see something like “crossposts” supported.
This will be an unpopular opinion, but none.
Should be fine if we can get a setting to have no bots respond to you unless you summon them
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.
I agree with this. Similar to how discord handles bots, it should be labeled
A bot that listens to and tallys “goodbott” and “bad bot” comments
Video/image download bot would be super useful.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
You missed the bleep-bloop!
Since no one mentioned it,
Stabbot - the video stabilising bot to fix videos that the uploader didn’t bother with.
Songfinder bot seems handy to prevent earworms.
Plus a lot of the other ones mentioned. Just helpful bots with a distinct purpose that come in when asked to save time or educate.
Amputatorbot!!
Because none of us ever read the article anyway… autotldr bot.
Lemmygrad has a bot which detects youtube, twitter and reddit links in your post and offers links to open source front ends like invidious, nitter and libreddit. It’d be nice if we had one of those.
This isn’t necessarily a bot in and of itself…but, could function as one. It would be really cool if bots could reshare content from other fediverse sources into a group automatically, but preserve attribution to the original posters.
Would be really handy for, say, automatically sharing PeerTube videos to a community dedicated to watching them.
I’m sure something like AutoMod would eventually become useful for community moderators.
I made a couple of bots that could give you some ideas:

Thanks for sharing. I checked out a few other bots in different languages, but the typescript one seemed really nice and easy to setup. How much resources does it use typically?
I haven’t actually checked resource usage tbh.
