First of all, L4s (sorry misspelled in titel) is not a real user, so no harm done here.
It’s an automatic bot xposting from reddit, making this community just as bad as r/technology, which kind frankly only revolves around politics and social media platforms.
I’ve had the user blocked 2 weeks now, and this community is muuuuch more enjoyable and is actually about technology now.
Just wanted to share a positive experience.
Or segment into more than 1 bot. 1 tries to only surface tech, another is less choosey. Then we block per taste. I’m not talking about 5 bots. 2, maybe 3.
I hear you but as a bot writer, it’s not that simple. No one is going to write multiple bots when one would suffice. It’s easier to limit one bot than make more
Ooh, how does one make a Lemmy bot? A couple of communities I moderate could benefit from a bot to post regular threads based on a template or respond to comments that contain key phrases.

Thanks so much for the generous offer!
Would you be opposed to chatting publicly, perhaps on !lemmy_dev@programming.dev or !lemmybotsupport@lemmy.world? The communities aren’t very active, but seem like suitable places to discuss this topic. I can’t imagine that we are the only people interested in this, and I feel that fostering some open-source bot development could be beneficial for the fediverse as a whole.
Sure! Start a topic and I’ll join
Thanks; done.
