How does one make a Lemmy bot? A couple of communities I moderate could benefit from a bot to post regular threads based on a template or respond to comments which contain key phrases.

How and where are Lemmy bots hosted? What language are they written in? I have some basic coding experience with Python/Bash/C++, but am not sure where to start when it comes to something like this.

Are there any good step-by-step guides for building a Lemmy bot?

    I’m not sure which is the best or most active, but there are several open source Lemmy bots you could check out to get an idea, or just use an existing one or fork it. This one for instance, lemmy-bot

    Theres a lot of different frameworks to use for creating them

    The most popular one is lemmy-bot which uses js (and has descriptions for how to use it on the page)

    Theres also one in python though here with a couple examples in its repo
