Apologies in advance, but the Lemmy upgrade appears to have broken the bot’s ability to post - it is trying, but it can’t actually connect to any communities for some reason. ☹️
If one of the nightowls could make a post at midnight that would be great - we can declare it “Manual Monday” and I can poke at the programming tomorrow when I have had some sleep.
There were initially issues with logging in, but I got that sorted out. IIt’s now giving an error message when trying to connect to the individual communities, so something may have changed there. None of the other community bots seem to have posted daily threads today, so I guess it’s not just my dodgy bot having issues with the change. The last major upgrade to Lemmy made some API changes that broke a lot of things, so it is definitely possible they have done the same again.
I was hoping to get some working code for the post sorted out today (based on working code from other communities) and then work on the cron stuff to trigger it (standby for questions regarding that, I am likely to have some!). But it is likely to take longer if everyone’s bots are having the same issue.
The good news is I think I’ve fixed the logon/community connection problem. The bad news is I think I broke the part of the code that does the actual posting, so while I’m not getting any messages now it’s also just not doing anything!

I did have to sign in again so maybe. Wasn’t there some sort of lemmy update?

Yeah… well it does go off partying on weekends. Maybe it’s hungover
I had to sign in again too on my desktop.
