Is there a way to automate posts here? I would really love to be able to do that for my group, would you be able to point me in the right direction to find out how?

Unfortunately, I don't know of any established tools. There are a number of libraries for various languages, or you can make API calls directly. But if you don't have programming experience, none of those are really an option.

For now, if there's an extremely simple action you want done on a schedule, I'd be happy to add it to the script I'm using for c/fire. Just let me know what you have in mind. In time, I'm sure people will make powerful botting tools that don't require as much technical knowledge, but they're just not here yet.

Thanks for responding. Unfortunately my programming experience is about 40 years out of date. I'm working on learning a bit more, but it is rather complicated figuring out where to start. At the moment I'm still at the stage of working out what applications I need to use, so every little bit helps🙂

By the time I figure it all out the tools to do more easily it will probably be available, but a bit extra learning is never a bad thing.

Absolutely. I wish you all the best with your project. :)
