Hello everyone,

I am one of the moderators of !casualconversation@lemmy.world. We use a bot relying on https://schedule.lemmings.world/ to create a post every day automatically.

I know that some users block bots because they consider them annoying, be it repost posts or features bots such as tldr or piped. Having the bot labelled as such prevents the daily threads from being viewed by users who might be interested.

I had that reasoning in the past, but had the bot banned for not complying with the instance guidelines.

I thus open this thread to see what could be done to solve this issue. Could there be exceptions to the bot labelling guidelines in this kind of cases?

    Hey there! Not sure you ever solved this and I realize this is a rather old post, but you can always use your non-bot account with the Scheduler. I do it that way.
