I have created a reply bot that I posted earlier. With it, I can create any bot that replies to users’ comments with a set message. It can also get information from the comment and include it in the reply if needed.
The reply bot I made is pretty advanced in terms of what it can detect because it uses PCRE2. For example, I can detect only things that start with something, or only things that have specific characters in specific locations and don’t have other characters before or after.
Does anyone know any bots on Reddit that they may want brought to Lemmygrad (other than parenti bot, that’s already been brought over), or have any other ideas for bots that could be added?
Liberty seems like a pretty common word. I don’t want to create a situation where there is so much bot activity that there are more bot replies than human replies, so I am not sure if this would be a good idea. Maybe I should make another post to discuss that. However, less common words, or something like the !archive command I implemented would probably be fine.
It’s a good quote, but I agree with the caution here. We tend not to get many Reddit liberal types trying to counter communist narratives with a teary-eyed, Braveheart-inspired, ‘but liberty!’ / ‘freedom!’.
But what if we could summon Stalin like Parenti? You know, for when it just feels right. What about a ‘RealLiberty’ bot?
You could always have the bot listen for mentions of itself only instead of being triggered by certain text in comments or posts. There’s a different API endpoint just for person mentions, so it should be possible. Parentibot does it.
It’s possible, but my bot responds to multiple things at the same time, so there’s no good way to choose which reply to send if it’s just mentioned. Instead, I’m implementing commands like !archive https://example.com. That way, it won’t reply unless someone explicitly wants it to.
Here are the archive links you requested:
