How does one make a Lemmy bot? A couple of communities I moderate could benefit from a bot to post regular threads based on a template or respond to comments which contain key phrases.
How and where are Lemmy bots hosted? What language are they written in? I have some basic coding experience with Python/Bash/C++, but am not sure where to start when it comes to something like this.
Are there any good step-by-step guides for building a Lemmy bot?
Theres a lot of different frameworks to use for creating them
The most popular one is lemmy-bot which uses js (and has descriptions for how to use it on the page)
Theres also one in python though here with a couple examples in its repo
Looks like lemmy-bot uses TypeScript, but I guess that’s close enough to JavaScript for most purposes.
Uses typescript but can be used for both js and ts, I make bots in Javascript using it
