You might have seen my lemmy tagginator which I announced here and I explain its purpose in its README.
As I explained there, the purpose is to help introduce discovery and more engagement on lemmy from the microblogging space.
Some things about it.
You can add extra tags
Normally the bot will always tag as #Piracy, but you can add more tags from those supported. The current supported tags are #Torrents, #Arrs, and #Usenet
Feel free to suggest other optional tags
You can skip the Tagginator
Simply put #SkipTagginator in your body to prevent the bot from posting. Use this if you don’t think that post should be boosted in discoverability.
You can avoid seeing the bot
I see a lot of people downvoting the bot. Mates, just block the bot account. It’s that easy.
#SkipTagginator
Why are there supported tags? Why can’t #AnyTag be parsed by the bot? I don’t expect many people to make the effort to check which tags are allowed.
Why should a Lemmy user care about this? It appears there is no integration with Lemmy beyond parsing. For instance, you can’t quickly filter by tags from the sidebar.
I suppose it’s still useful since the #piracy tag is added automatically. However, the overall idea feels rather raw.
The reason is that the tags appear posted from the bot and I don’t want people to start trolling and make me start monitoring.
Yes the integration is not optimal. The best would be that lemmy supports it natively but we do the best we can
I really like the idea and even more the intention behind it.
