Gah! I just remembered, went and made it and then realized I was beaten.

I should look into automating these.

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

Possibly Brisbane has one, β€˜brisbot’ makes their daily thread. May they could kindly share their method? Would be awesome if it could be automated!

Yes. Automation. Good.

What ever happened to the bot? You had it going for a while didn't you @RustyRaven@aussie.zone?

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

Poor bot suffered death by Lemmy upgrade.

That would be so good. Can we call it Melbot?

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago

I actually already have a pet bot. I use it for admin tasks and testing, mostly. I don't know at this point whether I'll use that one, or make something new.

A quick google search showed me something promising: https://github.com/RikudouSage/LemmySchedule

I'm at work now and not actively working on this.

How deplorably uncreative. Why not Ermingertrude or Sveinn the Snaggletooth?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago

True. I just want them to feel at home with brisbot and sydbot. Melbot doesn't really need an extravagant name because they stand out anyway.
