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! in 10 years
RemindMe bot is awesome
Beat me to it. Came here to say exactly this.
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

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
Should be fine if we can get a setting to have no bots respond to you unless you summon them
Video/image download bot would be super useful.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
You missed the bleep-bloop!
Because none of us ever read the article anyway… autotldr bot.
I’ve always found the ones that give a Wikipedia summary useful
Also the one that turned Wikipedia mobile links into desktop ones.
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.
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.
I made a couple of bots that could give you some ideas:
https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-ocr-bot
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 really hope it won’t be needed, but we should probably have an nwordcount bot ready to go, just in case
Amputatorbot!!
I’m sure something like AutoMod would eventually become useful for community moderators.
