A lemmy bot that detects when posts reach an upvote total and then responds with a reply
- Clone the repository
- Create an account in the instance you want the bot to have as its home (just make a regular user)
- Create a file called .env in the bot folder and give it values in this format with the data in the quotes (dont add the slashes or the part after the slashes)
LEMMY_INSTANCE="" // The instance the bot account is in
LEMMY_USERNAME="" // The bot username
LEMMY_PASSWORD="" // The bot password
- Change the data in config.yaml based on what you want set
- Open a terminal in the bot folder and run
npm install
to install dependendies and thennode main.js
to run the bot (whenever you want to start the bot again you can just do ctrl+c to interrupt the process and node main.js to start the bot)
I recommend installing something like forever.js for making it run continually
