Question sparked after seeing the post about unmarked llm bots.

Would you like to see service/utility bots here?

No thanks, those were annoying and spammy on reddit and I think they’re generally a nuisance.

Lemmy let’s you disable bots. Amazing feature.

Hey that’s really interesting and I don’t know how to access that. I access lemmy 99.9% through the voyager client, do you know if I can access that option through the client or do I have to log in on a browser?

Hmm, I can’t seem to find it in the options. Typically you can go to the website, change the setting, and it generally flows through to what you see in apps. It can vary by setting, though.

In Boost, its under “account preferences” where you can also alter your nio. Not sure if its the same in Voyager

I like the useful bots that summarise stuff and you can decide to read the whole article. The “funny” bots can go die in a pit.

Upvoted the legit question.

The only bot I would like would be an improved version of https://schedule.lemmings.world/

Currently, you can scheduled pinned post on a defined frequency, but you cannot unpin them automatically (e.g. after 24 hours)

  • A configurable AutoMod for communities
  • Decronym
  • RemindMe
  • MetricConverter
  • Stabbot
  • MoreJpegAuto

  • Bridging bots to interact with Reddit
  • Bridging bots to interact with Facebook Groups
  • Match threader bots for Football, Basketball, and American Football
  • Bots that follow tags on Mastodon and boots them to specific communities

If the summarising bot worked better and made short summaries, it would be great. There are too many posts that are just a link with a generic title, so a brief summary would be ideal.

I don’t think there are any other useful bots though.
