I have just deployed a small bot @tagginator which will reply from mastodon to top posts in specific #lemmy communities in order to add #hashtags to them: https://github.com/db0/lemmy-tagginator
Take a look and tell me what you think or ideas for improvements.
@db0
Awesome!
I've similar-ish thoughts about using bots to help mastodon users follow lemmy communities (which I may ranted to you about before?)
One bot follows a community. A second bot boosts only top-level posts. Because the first bot has followed the community, all posts and comments get federated so that mastodon users can view them if/when they wish.
Mastodon users then follow the second bot and so avoid the firehose of seeing all comments.
@maegul If mastodon ever implements QT and it would be possible for replies to the QT to be considered to be replying to the original comment somehow, it would be optimal tbh
