in theory as you operate both the server and the bot you could modify lemmy to tell the bot when a new comment hits a thread instead of polling, which would be more efficient (but definitely harder to do!)
also does it handle the case where nobody from your instance is following a community? to make sure you get all the replies reliably the bot would need to subscribe to each community it's watching a post from
that said, great work. I may end up using it if I don't end up forgetting about its existence :p
I’m using a library named lemmy-bot. To achieve what you say, I need to modify both library and lemmy server. As you can guess, I can’t afford time for these 🙂
I think it’s not using much resources anyways. 2 requests per minute is nothing compared to hundreds of ActivityPub requests per second.
I didn’t tested non-followed community, but the bot works with mention event instead of comment. But still not sure, I’ll test this one 🙏
oh, I meant for the actual post watching part, summoning via mention should work without any subscription
I think to get mentioned comment, it needs to get parent post too. As I said, I need to test it. I can only assume right now.
