They are very useful and autolovepon automatically creates discussion threads which I think will help keep the sub alive.
Roboragi linkes the anime mentioned to MAL and other sites which is super neat and useful.
Would be nice to have Roboragi here
I’ve made a fork of autolovepon for Lemmy already, just waiting on the mods to give me the thumbs up to deploy. Don’t wanna just go over their heads on it
Oh hey, me too! I’ve also been waiting for a response from the mods for about a week now.
I think the mods here are on a (permanent?) vacation. Wanna combine our work and start a new episode discussion community?
If none of the mods have had made any comments recently, probably worth reaching out to an admin to see if you can get mod ownership temporarily.
We technically don’t even need moderator rights to send bot posts to a community, though common sense dictates that you should generally try to get permission before spamming someone else’s community with auto-posts. It seems ass-backward to me to try and take over someone’s community without permission in order to feel better about sending bot posts without permission.
In any case, I don’t believe that the Lemmy developers are overtly interested in managing community ownership drama when they can just tell people to go create a new community where they’re in charge. It’s a bad precedent and bad optics for them to get involved – I would feel wrong for even broaching the question to them.Apparently they totally do requests, but most of the requests that get granted seem to require the moderators to be absent for 1yr+. There’s also the minor wrinkle that communities can only be moderated by users on the same instance and new registrations for lemmy.ml are currently closed indefinitely.
Since AutoLovepon is open source, it should be trivial to port that one to Lemmy
