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 think your proposal is reasonable. However it depends how exactly post tags will get implemented, which is still rather vague. I dont think it makes sense to implement federated hashtags before we have post tags in Lemmy figured out.

    In any case your tool looks very useful as a stopgap, and can help to test how hashtag federation can work in practice.
