I’m a moderator in one of the Lemmy communities and want to set up a bot to post a message every day. I only found this; is that the best way? I’m a developer, so I’m confident I can set it up on a locally hosted server, but then other moderators won’t be able to edit it. Is there a better way to do this?
Is this for a single community? Maybe you can host a simple password-protected site where the moderators can modify the message.
@fossilesque@mander.xyz is developing a plant id bot for !plantid@mander.xyz, perhaps they can explain to you how they are doing that.
Yeah, happy to share the code. It’s python + docker. You’ll probably be able to just simply it!
I’m building Lemmy.py, a Python wrapper for the Lemmy API, I made a post about it here: https://lemmy.cat/post/4479
Thank you. How would you recommend to handle things like daily posts and giving all mods the ability to edit? Especially mods without programming experience?
Please explain in detail how you would like the bot to work and what features it should have.
One post a day. The same post every day? A default motd that you can edit but as long as you don’t change it, it publishes every day? Should the time be configurable? Etc…?
