A script that attempts to tag all posts from specific communities - GitHub - db0/lemmy-tagginator: A script that attempts to tag all posts from specific communities

I have just deployed a script and a mastodon bot which attempt to hashtag lemmy posts so that they are better discoverable in microblogging services.

Please check the README for the why and the how.

If you have a microblogging account, please consider following the bot account which will help its hashtags federate to your instance’s public timeline.

Many thanks to @jgrim@discuss.online for hosting the bot.

PS: If you have a mastodon account, you can reply to your posts on mastodon (just search for their url) and add hashtags to your replies. This will achieve a quick and dirty version of what this bot is doing

    I want to be able to add hashtags when I create a post, either through a field (like title, body, etc) or directly in the body of my post like everywhere else on the #fediverse. This doesn’t require any extra moderation, its compatible with the rest of the fediverse, and would increase discoverability.

    Thats just the reality, complaining wont change anything.

    I was venting a frustration with a fellow user, which is perfectly reasonable. And clearly, there’s a chance it could change something, because it got your attention and made you jump in.
