HOLY FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER! This is the first time I've seen the autotldr bot on Lemmy!

Is there a way we can trigger this manually?

[-] admin@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Saw it for the first time today as well...I don't know if we can trigger it...keep in mind that there are upcoming discussions, between mods, admins and users, as to how we are going to deal with bot accounts on Beehaw.

Well, this (type of) bot is certainly helpful. It's good to see things maturing here on Lemmy.

This would get my vote for a helpful bot account, yes.

This guy and the metric converter bot (is he here yet?) are both super helpful and should be encouraged. It’s the joke ones that should be banned, but informational value added to the discussion should be welcomed imo.

metric converter bot

I'm not aware of this bot. What does it do?

[-] cnnrduncan@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Converts American units like miles and ounces into normal units like metres and litres.

It should be bi-directional. We don't need bots that are just pedantry disguised as "corrections".

Hi there, author of the bot here, feel free to reach out to me if you need to set up some ground rules for how the bot works on your instance!

[-] admin@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

You'll want to interact with the admins at this post.

Sadly, not yet, that's planned for when I have more time. Currently when it sees a site that it knows how to extract the content from, it provides a summary. Meaning it only works on communities it knows it exists.
