How is rikka going to handle recap episodes? I wouldn't expect any comments for most of those.
I haven't worked on Rikka specifically, but my assumption would be that said scenario requires a manual post creation for the episode thereafter.
I went back and checked how my test-instance of rikka handled the Solo Leveling recap episode this past season, and it skips over the recap episode and resumes posting threads when there is a new episode. This is because the recap episodes are not listed in the AniList api that rikka uses to determine episode airtimes. So, if a user wanted to create a discussion thread for a recap episode, it would need to be created manually by me rather than automatically by the bot.
I went back and checked the logs for Solo Leveling on my test-instance of rikka and I was correct in guessing that recap episodes are not listed in the AniList api. So, the recap episode would simply not get a discussion thread from rikka.
That is a really good question. The answer is that it depends on how recap episodes are or are not presented in the AniList api, since that is what rikka uses as her source. I suspect that recap episodes are not presented in the api, so rikka will just skip over them without making a post, and simply make a post for the next sequential episode.
I wish I had paid attention to this during Solo Leveling's recent recap episode. Thanks for putting this on my radar. This and batch releases are probably the two outstanding issues that I don't yet know a good technical solution for.
