Introduction and feedback request
Hello everyone, I wanted to introduce myself and get some feedback on what this community might want. I am a fairly active birdwatcher and I enjoy talking photos of birds while hiking. I am a software developer by day (more on that later). I wanted to start this community as I loved helping over on Reddit but as RIF was my primary interaction point and I can't just jump on and answer a few anymore. I also wanted to create a place to help others and myself with learning more about our feathered friends.
As I mentioned before I am a software developer and I would like to create a bot to help with identification. Starting out you will just be able to request links via all about birds/ebird via double square brackets like [[American Robin]] and it will reply with a few links. I will start testing that this week so if you see some test posts, you can ignore ( or try it out) Other than that I want to get feedback from the community about what they might want to be added to the bot.Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or concerns as I have little experience with modding s community like this.
Finally if you have a logo/banner for the community please post it, I am not an artist so I would love to get community help there.

I just found this community and I wanted to post one of my favorite photos of one of my favorite birds
There is also always a product from wizards that can get you started pretty quickly. Some of my favorite games from college were each person with an unmodified precon edh deck.
Good rust bot examples?
I recently made a community for bird identification (check us out here ).
I would like to make a bot that would take in a bird name like this [[American Robin]] and comment back with links to more information. I can do the links for birds easily but the bot side I don't know. Does anyone have any examples of Lemmy bots written in rust that do something similar? Or at least a source on where to start?
The final code would be open source if that matters to people. Thank you in advance.
Common grackles usually have a more iridescent Sheen to then and that feels a little large for a juvenile. My guess is fledgling American or fish crow.
I would submit for testing to be sure
Whatsthisbird is now on lemmy
Have a picture, recording, drawing of a bird or bird adjacent item (egg, feather, nest) that you want identified or maybe you are already an expert that wants to help others out. Come visit us
