Is this for a single community? Maybe you can host a simple password-protected site where the moderators can modify the message.
@fossilesque@mander.xyz is developing a plant id bot for !plantid@mander.xyz, perhaps they can explain to you how they are doing that.
Yeah, happy to share the code. It's python + docker. You'll probably be able to just simply it!
I'd love to take a peek as well if you don't mind.
Yeah it's for a single community, stopdrinking. It's for the daily check in post.
I haven't used it, but lemmybot or or the lower-level https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client, which is a pure client with no bot features are what I'm aware of.
I'd make sure to evaluate the API changes planned for v18 of Lemmy though. There's a major shift away from the websockets API that's about to land, and it's quite possible that you'd build a bot to find out it's broken a week later and needs to be adapted for a totally different API.
I'm building Lemmy.py, a Python wrapper for the Lemmy API, I made a post about it here: https://lemmy.cat/post/4479
Thank you. How would you recommend to handle things like daily posts and giving all mods the ability to edit? Especially mods without programming experience?
Please explain in detail how you would like the bot to work and what features it should have.
One post a day. The same post every day? A default motd that you can edit but as long as you don't change it, it publishes every day? Should the time be configurable? Etc...?
You could use gihtub/gitlab to host the code for the bot and allow editing that way?
You could probably use their CI/CD infrastructure to run the bot itself, too!
Yeah was thinking about that as well, sounds like a plan. Thanks for the tip.
