Even if I never make it, it has already been a good learning experience. Just figuring out what I need to learn to do anything like that is tricky - and a lot of the “beginner” level information starts way above my level. I’m glad I have access to LinkedIn Learning, it’s the first place I have found a course that instead of starting at “try typing these lines of code” acctually starts with telling you where to type the code.
I have found that one, and it looks like it is really useful. It has all the code there for doing regular posts, so once I can work out how to actually run a program and which details need to be changed to apply to our community it hopefully won’t be too difficult. I now have programs loaded and am starting to run through the basics of how to deal with the code, so I am progressing.

I’m sure you are way ahead of me but have you checked out Frank bot in the bot-library?
