Is there any possibility of introducing bots like AutoLovepon and Roboragi here?
They are very useful and autolovepon automatically creates discussion threads which I think will help keep the sub alive.
Roboragi linkes the anime mentioned to MAL and other sites which is super neat and useful.
I’ve made a fork of autolovepon for Lemmy already, just waiting on the mods to give me the thumbs up to deploy. Don’t wanna just go over their heads on it
Oh hey, me too! I've also been waiting for a response from the mods for about a week now.
I think the mods here are on a (permanent?) vacation. Wanna combine our work and start a new episode discussion community?
As I see it, you have the following options:
I think we have a good group of users posting to this /c, and while it's early, this is feeling like a viable community.
The mods not being present is definitely an issue. This is the highest sub-count Anime community on Lemmy. With no one to moderate it, I surprised to see it is so civil even after the reddit migration had begun.
Would be nice to have Roboragi here
Since AutoLovepon is open source, it should be trivial to port that one to Lemmy
I haven't done any extensive research into this or anything, but if the bots are open source, the work to port them to Lemmy from Reddit should be minimal. Someone developed a way to access Lemmy using the Reddit API a while ago, so I can't imagine too much work would be needed to get it going.
