I was thinking of making a parenti bot and noticed that lemmy’s settings allow you to mark an account as a bot. Doing a search for “bot” in the server side code shows options for showing/hiding content posted by bots when viewing communities, but I didn’t see anything for actually having an account run a script.
I’m sure people viewing this from lemmygrad may recall Comarade Rose, who was likely a bot, regularly posting content from communist subreddits; I’m sure making a bot is possible.
Feel free to check out the bot’s source code. It’s basically just opening up a websocket connection and using the lemmy js client to handle requests.
