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.___
RemindMe bot is awesome
I made a couple of bots that could give you some ideas:
https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-ocr-bot
I really hope it won’t be needed, but we should probably have an nwordcount bot ready to go, just in case
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.
I didn’t mean to imply that all bots are spam, or that they aren’t useful in any way. I wouldn’t be opposed to community-specific bots, like one that provides a series summary on a community for TV shows.
I just really don’t want to have like a third of comments being bots. The community numbers are still fairly low, and Lemmy users are (for the time being, anyways) generally tech-inclined so bots could rapidly be a much too large part of posts/comments. I’m here because I want to interact with people, not bots.
Because none of us ever read the article anyway… autotldr bot.
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.
Automoderator!
Amputatorbot!!
I’m sure something like AutoMod would eventually become useful for community moderators.
A repost detecting bot might be helpful

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
