Well… that was easier than expected! I’m done porting holo (link) – now I’m just waiting on the mods to contact me so we can decide on how (and if) we should set the bot up.
Awesome! Seeing that pretty simple PR has me tempted to look at useful tools and bots to try porting over here for a few communities. Maybe I’ve just found something to do this weekend.
Yeah I think I’ll do that since it appears that the mods on this community are taking a break right now.
Paging @[email protected]: would your community be interested in testing out a port of holo bot for automated episode discussions?
EDIT: As of yesterday, my home instance has started blocking lemmy.world for some unknown reason, so I won’t be able to reach out to the anime community over there until we figure out what’s going on 🤷
A day or two back a lot of smaller instances were temporarily defederating from the large instances to clear a message cache that was slowing down the whole fediverse, then refederating again. Just growing pains stuff on a system that never had to scale like this before.
I’m willing to bet they were just caught up in one of those purges.
OK, I think my comments are federating now! Let’s try that again…

Quick work! Well done.
I’d love to see this community grow, and having automatic places for discussion would certainly help it along.
Just so you know, there is a second anime community on lemmy.world here: https://lemmy.world/c/anime
Might try asking there as well.

Are you sure? There’s no instance block on either of them:

https://lemmy.sdf.org/instances

good work, but I’ll probably end up rolling my own bot for [email protected]
