Do you know how to make a bot on Lemmy? Because my search for how to automate a daily thread post is going very slowly and I could really do with a hand from someone who knows what they are doing.
Pretty much, but I am basically still at the point of working out which programs I need to install to run anything like that, so I am a long way off. I expect it to take a while to figure out which is ok, but I am also a bit worried about whether I am heading in the right direction - I don’t want to invest hours/days/weeks learning to use JS and find out I’m going in the wrong direction.
I have the code from GitHub, I have found a lemmy-js client on join-lemmy.org, and have a tutorial on LinkedIn Learning that starts with what programs to install to use JS through to basic programming. If I put those together am I likely to end up in roughly the right place to make an automated thread?
That is a good starting point, for getting a bot running locally. I’m more than happy to look at the JS as well.
I would also be looking for somewhere with free NodeJS PAAS hosting as well (heroku / vercel), so that the host computer doesn’t need to be kept on all the time.
Fabulous, good to know I am heading in the right direction. Step 1: create automated thread. Step 2: recreate hidden penis bot Step 3: create bot army and take over the world. I got this.
Currently thinking of making a bot to notify people of VicPol Search areas, as Elon has broken the Twitter API, breaking the current bot.
What would be the best channel though? Facebook? Email List? Lemmy?

I’m more than happy to help, but I would need to check the docs first, and I’m somewhat busy.
Were you planning on using one of the node JS bots on github?
Busier than a cat burying shit in concrete.
