Best way to create a bot for Lemmy? (lemmy.nz)

I'm a moderator in one of the Lemmy communities and want to set up a bot to post a message every day. I only found this; is that the best way? I'm a developer, so I'm confident I can set it up on a locally hosted server, but then other moderators won't be able to edit it. Is there a better way to do this?

You could use gihtub/gitlab to host the code for the bot and allow editing that way?

You could probably use their CI/CD infrastructure to run the bot itself, too!

Yeah was thinking about that as well, sounds like a plan. Thanks for the tip.
