Hello fellow Lemmings! the first version of the haiku-bot is out! anyone can add or remove it in any community by simply mentioning him and asking to subscribe:
!Haiku-bot SUBSCRIBE
when added to a community, it will read every comment (not posts currently) and if he detects the 5-7-5 syllable pattern typical of haikus will reply formatting it in a nice way!
If it becomes too spammy you can remove it by just commenting:
!haiku-bot UNSUBSCRIBE
currently it can be subscribed and unsubscribed by anyone, but if this will result in a problem please let me know and I’ll allow only mods to do this! any problem, bug, suggestion, insult, anything you wish is welcome!
hope you’ll enjoy it!
thanks for making it opt-in rather than opt-out or non-toggleable. I’ve never liked the haiku bot on reddit since it never made much sense to me. but it’s nice to see development going on regardless. :)
fun fact, I’ve never liked them much neither XD but I wanted to try something easy to learn bot development on lemmy and a few users were waiting for this and so here I am!
Are you planning to create any more bots now that you have dipped your toes into bot development?
I surely will, compatibility with my free time!
I was thinking of making a community to discuss about lemmy bots development, with tutorials and requests
