I’m thinking of looking at the Lemmy api and that’s best done when you have some actual problem to solve!
So, is there any bot that you’d like to see?

AutoModbot, autotldr, remindme, top posts And lemmy URL fixer (transform regular lemmy link to federated one e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/memes to !memes@lemmy.world).
Those are good ideas!
@autotldr@lemmings.world is live now!
Is it possible to make it comment on a specific post? Mention in does nothing
It probably doesn’t know about the community, or it doesn’t have support for the site. Can you link me to the post (either here, or in PM, it’s up to you).
Edit: Probably found it, it doesn’t have any support for news.sky.com, shall I add it?
Thanks for your answer. idk about adding it, the article sounded interesting but idk how relayable this news site is and how much work it takes. I guess it’s up to you :)
Added it along with the ability to respond to mentions. Once it’s deployed, it should respond to your mention (hopefully, it was kinda huge overhaul of the code).
Worked on my mention :)
Just throwing out an idea, feel free to ignore it XD
I think that if one would write a quick “how to write a site handler” with a built-in template (like I’ve seen used), I’m sure many will contribute and send PRs for their favorite sites. If you’re interested of course. I don’t mind volunteer for doing the writeup either.
If you feel up to it, I’ll gladly accept it! I’m planning on doing it myself, but I’m not sure when I’ll have the time.
How to make a site handler:
In our example:
But, as I went up the tree like the last step said, I found this div:
You might think to go even upper like this:
But as you can see, the browser highlighted parts that aren’t the body of the article itself. So…don’t.
Now that we got the correct div, we’ll fill the siteHandler template like this
Then,
Edit it as you wish, or let me know if you need me to do so. No need for credit obviously, just helping improve this amazing tool is enough :)
Note: I had to use that codefile website because something went wrong with the code markdown, but I guess you can skip it once you put it on github.
I think I can do it tomorrow, hopefully it won’t slip my mind
Well done! It was very much needed.
Lemmy URL fixer is done! Example: https://lemmings.world/c/lemmings_world_instance
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmings_world_instance@lemmings.world
Well done! Much needed. How it summon itself?
Just write the URL and it should come. It does have to know about your community, though, not sure how exactly that works.
Fyi this is calling out links made with the official autocomplete. I’ve blocked it but does that stop it from replying to me or just stop me from seeing the replies?
It stops it from replying to you. And the official autocomplete is weird, it produces wrong links and then replaces them on the fly with the correct ones.
Yeah I’m aware not all the app interfaces etc have caught up with the proper links yet. So I’ll just keep including the local ones manually for now to include the most people. Anyway cheers, I post a lot of links so as long as it’s not hassling me with false positives 😄
I’m currently working on handling that weirdness the UI does to ignore the default links, will let you know when it’s updated.
It has been fixed!
Quick work! 👏
