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

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

    Still an annoyance, i post on reddit and lemmy for years, to keep having to delete that reply for years to come could accumulate to a significant amount of time, and small segments of time wasted tend to add up

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

    You could add the “about this bot” the line above it ( making a two lines message) but this could be cryptic and therefore off putting for new lemmy users (creating a bad impression of the platform).

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

    When you reply the person you reply to still get notifications , lemmy “active” sort bumps posts when they get new comments (see docs) and anyway most of the time i assume people just read comments and don’t respond, and the idea is to make lemmy more discoverable so after that they could visit lemmy and participate more actively.
