I think the title says it all. Basically, when a new comment appears on your targeted post, it sends you a PM about it.

@[email protected]

Usage

  • Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments.
  • Unsubscribe from a post: reply the bot with stop keyword.
  • Unsubscribe completely: Send PM to the bot and add stop to your message. It will unsubscribe you from all subscriptions.

Note: the bot sends only one notification per post. It waits for the previous notification to be marked as read for new comments.

Made with @[email protected]’s lemmy-bot project 🙏 Tomorrow I will publish the code publicly after adding README and self-hosting guide.

    How does it subscribe when lemmy doesn’t have subscribing or notification apps? Does it just pill the server? (As a server owner the amount of traffic there worries me, and that could cost me depending on implementation)

    If it’s polling, how do you know to stop polling? Will it just poll a post forever?

      Its polling every 30th second only on my instance. So don’t worry, it will not make any difference for you ✌️
