First of all, L4s (sorry misspelled in titel) is not a real user, so no harm done here.
It’s an automatic bot xposting from reddit, making this community just as bad as r/technology, which kind frankly only revolves around politics and social media platforms.
I’ve had the user blocked 2 weeks now, and this community is muuuuch more enjoyable and is actually about technology now.
Just wanted to share a positive experience.
Ooh, how does one make a Lemmy bot? A couple of communities I moderate could benefit from a bot to post regular threads based on a template or respond to comments that contain key phrases.
I’m pretty new to Lemmy but it’s probably pretty similar to other platforms. Email me, [my username] @ gmail
I can at least get you started if not just make it for you. Might as well learn how since I’m here!
edit: I got it, it’s easy. Email me and we can chat. I can even host it for you until the code is complete.
Thanks so much for the generous offer!
Would you be opposed to chatting publicly, perhaps on !lemmy_dev@programming.dev or !lemmybotsupport@lemmy.world? The communities aren’t very active, but seem like suitable places to discuss this topic. I can’t imagine that we are the only people interested in this, and I feel that fostering some open-source bot development could be beneficial for the fediverse as a whole.
Sure! Start a topic and I’ll join
Thanks; done.
