I think the title says it all. Basically, when a new comment appears on your targeted post, it sends you a PM about it.

Usage

Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments or send the link to the bot via PM.
Unsubscribe from a post: send PM to the bot with stop text and link of the post like stop https://lemmy.ml/post/1234
Unsubscribe completely: Send PM to the bot and add stop text to your message. It will unsubscribe you from all subscriptions.

Note: the bot sends only one notification per post. It waits for the previous notification to be marked as read for new comments.

Made with @CannotSleep420@hexbear.net's lemmy-bot project 🙏 Tomorrow I will publish the code publicly after adding README and self-hosting guide.

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.
