Gah! I just remembered, went and made it and then realized I was beaten.

I should look into automating these.

Possibly Brisbane has one, β€˜brisbot’ makes their daily thread. May they could kindly share their method? Would be awesome if it could be automated!

What ever happened to the bot? You had it going for a while didn't you @[email protected]?

Poor bot suffered death by Lemmy upgrade.

Yes. Automation. Good.

That would be so good. Can we call it Melbot?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How deplorably uncreative. Why not Ermingertrude or Sveinn the Snaggletooth?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

True. I just want them to feel at home with brisbot and sydbot. Melbot doesn't really need an extravagant name because they stand out anyway.

I actually already have a pet bot. I use it for admin tasks and testing, mostly. I don't know at this point whether I'll use that one, or make something new.

A quick google search showed me something promising: https://github.com/RikudouSage/LemmySchedule

I'm at work now and not actively working on this.
