Agreed, what r/anime had made it nice to discuss on a consistent basis (when it was consistent lol)
I can try my hand at porting holo to Lemmy and making it send posts here. What say you, mods? @[email protected] @[email protected]
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.
Quick work! Well done.
I'd love to see this community grow, and having automatic places for discussion would certainly help it along.
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.
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.
Hey, that would be very helpful!, Thanks!
An ambitious person could probably fork https://github.com/r-anime/holo and shimmy or re-do the API calls to have it target one (or more) Lemmy communities.
Looks like another user here (chaorace) already did it, just waiting for a response from mods.
I think there’s a wrapper for Reddits API, might actually be pretty easy.
I forked r/anime's holo bot (u/AutoLovepon) and swapped it to Lemmy's API. It should be good to go (a second pair of eyes might be nice, I'm not perfect!) I PM'd the mods, if they give the go-ahead it can be up and running in probably an hour. Code here for your pleasure, let me know if I missed something
would be very useful
I also agree, especially as we enter a new season and people are trying to figure out what to watch.
Yeah I’ve been using the anime discussion bot as my “anime reminder”
Having one would be really nice
Strongly agreed. There's a saucenao bot for hentai already, we need one for anime discussions too
Someone had their priorities up.
And something else.
Not complaining it's useful in my comm 🗿
Not quite sure about this. Honestly, this community is way too small to have lively discussions every anime episode that airs. The home page might just look like the episode bot spamming lots of posts with 3 to 4 comments at most. We need to get bigger as a community first before this.
The community won't get bigger because we come to discuss anime and then there is no anime discussion thread.
You've got a very optimistic outlook. Let's hope you're right about the community actually getting bigger if we have episode discussion threads. Worst that can happen is we end up with bot spam and empty threads.
Ironically, reddit has apparently blocked the r/anime bot. (Presumably related to all their api changes.)
Agreed. Hopefully as more people migrate to lemmy, someone will port the previous bot or make a new one.
