I think the title says it all. Basically, when a new comment appears on your targeted post, it sends you a PM about it.
Usage
- Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments.
- Unsubscribe from a post: reply the bot with
stopkeyword. - Unsubscribe completely: Send PM to the bot and add
stopto 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.
You must log in or register to comment.
So every user that decides to get notified will add a comment to the thread?
If 100 people trigger it, 100 comments will be the exact same response?
Also, if people end up “deleting the comment to keep the thread clean”, will they get purged as well?
Valid criticism. I’ll try to clear it tomorrow 👍 Any suggestions are appreciated.
Why not send the messages/instructions as a PM as well?
It could send a message to the user instead of commenting on the thread
Let me try it first :)

Ah, another handy bot handle to add to my Geyboard shortcuts. Nice!

Thanks but I don’t think this is a good method. We need an addon like RES, or built-in like on Saidit, or a script like this: https://gist.github.com/NathanSweet/de43d5b2cb0c0836763b
I don’t know about the options you’ve said but I agree this should be a built-in feature. But it’s not.
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 ✌️

It’s cool. I wish a function like this was built into Lemmy.
Same.
the issue is being tracked here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3069
