I think the title says it all. Welcome to the world, @PostWatchBot@lemy.lol baby!

Usage

  • Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments. It will start to send you notification when a new comment is created.
  • Unsubscribe from a post: mention the bot and add stop keyword to the comment. (I plan to do this with reply as well)
  • Unsubscribe completely: Send PM to the bot and add stop to your message. It will unsubscribe you from all subscriptions.

Made with @CannotSleep420@hexbear.net’s lemmy-bot project 🙏 Tomorrow I will publish the code publicly after adding README and self-hosting guide.

    I’m using a library named lemmy-bot. To achieve what you say, I need to modify both library and lemmy server. As you can guess, I can’t afford time for these 🙂

    I think it’s not using much resources anyways. 2 requests per minute is nothing compared to hundreds of ActivityPub requests per second.

    I didn’t tested non-followed community, but the bot works with mention event instead of comment. But still not sure, I’ll test this one 🙏

      oh, I meant for the actual post watching part, summoning via mention should work without any subscription
