Introducing the Lemmy Tagginator (github.com)

I have just deployed a script and a mastodon bot which attempt to hashtag lemmy posts so that they are better discoverable in microblogging services.

Please check the README for the why and the how.

If you have a microblogging account, please consider following the bot account which will help its hashtags federate to your instance's public timeline.

Many thanks to @jgrim@discuss.online for hosting the bot.

PS: If you have a mastodon account, you can reply to your posts on mastodon (just search for their url) and add hashtags to your replies. This will achieve a quick and dirty version of what this bot is doing

Repeatedly getting tagged by this bot sounds like it is a PITA.

Having a command you can send with a private message so it won't tag you could be useful , something like :

dontTagMe: @wiki_me@lemmy.ml .

It's also pretty confusing if you encounter a post the first time, having it write something like :

new lemmy post: 'Moving media library to bigger HDD' on community #Selfhosted by @rambos

(Replying in this thread will appear as a comment in the lemmy discussion.)

about this bot (link to a explanation)

Could be more understandable.

Regarding you saying on the read me you are not a rust developer A tutorial on youtube implies you can learn the basics in aboutt 3h, since your contribution gets reviewed by experienced developer that should be enough and you can learn more things on the fly (Assuming there are more things you want to contribute to on lemmy).

having a command where the moderators of a community can tweak the frequency of posting (or maybe even posting just the top post for day/week/month etc) could also be helpful

Unfortunately I just don't have the mental bandwidth to pick up Rust atm. My hands are beyond full.

This shouldn't really make any difference. In lemmy it would appear as a normal reply notification once per thread.

Could be more understandable.

I'll see if I can expand the bot, but I don't want each reply to end up like a wall of text.

That would defeat the purpose, as the discovery from mastodon would happen days/weeks/months after that thread was active.
