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

    Unfortunately I just don’t have the mental bandwidth to pick up Rust atm. My hands are beyond full.

    Repeatedly getting tagged by this bot sounds like it is a PITA.

    This shouldn’t really make any difference. In lemmy it would appear as a normal reply notification once per thread.

    Could be more understandable.

    I’ll see if I can expand the bot, but I don’t want each reply to end up like a wall of text.

    having a command where the moderators of a community can tweak the frequency of posting (or maybe even posting just the top post for day/week/month etc) could also be helpful

    That would defeat the purpose, as the discovery from mastodon would happen days/weeks/months after that thread was active.
