Hi folks, the bot is a bit buggy and I am still working through it. It will be available intermittently. For now you are able to trigger it via posting the image in the URL field only. This will help me test it. :)

If you need to, you can upload it via Lemmy, but make sure to copy and paste the uploaded URL in the post field. It does not seem to like uploaded images and/or it might be delayed with responding.

Cheers!
