Since a bunch of new users are arriving from Reddit (including me) maybe it would make sense to port the /r/anime bot that creates episode discussions to Lemmy so there’s regular content here?
The bot is open source: https://github.com/r-anime/holo
Looking at the source it should not be so difficult to add an option to post to Lemmy as well.
Thoughts?
Would something like this be allowed? @N3DSdude@lemmy.ml @Nami@lemmy.ml
I think if it doesn’t result in the community becoming mostly bot spam, why not?
But it likely needs a rewrite to work with Lemmy.
If you have a RSS feed source for new anime episodes then a bot already exists.
I think it makes more sense to add support for Lemmy to the existing /r/anime bot.
It is a perfect match in functionality after all.
Sure, go ahead and adapt it. Do-ocracy and all that ;)
I was merely suggesting an option can can work right now with existing tools.
Of course, do you have a link to that RSS bot? I have a different project where that might be handy. :)

Thanks, not a huge surprise that I didn’t find it with that name. :D
