Their agenda is "noble" (keep the content flowing here), but the reality is what the OP mentioned. I stopped going to the technology reddit sub because it was tiring to sift through the doomscrolling.
Or segment into more than 1 bot. 1 tries to only surface tech, another is less choosey. Then we block per taste. I'm not talking about 5 bots. 2, maybe 3.
Ooh, 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 that contain key phrases.
Thanks so much for the generous offer!
Would you be opposed to chatting publicly, perhaps on !lemmy_dev@programming.dev or !lemmybotsupport@lemmy.world? The communities aren't very active, but seem like suitable places to discuss this topic. I can't imagine that we are the only people interested in this, and I feel that fostering some open-source bot development could be beneficial for the fediverse as a whole.
Thanks; done.
