@PostWatchBot - notify new comments of a post
I think the title says it all. Welcome to the world, @[email protected] [https://lemy.lol/u/PostWatchBot] baby! ### Usage - Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments. It will start to send you notification when a new comment is created. - Unsubscribe from a post: mention the bot ...
I think the title says it all. Basically, when a new comment appears on your targeted post, it sends you a PM about it.
Usage
- Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments or send the link to the bot via PM.
- Unsubscribe from a post: send PM to the bot with
stoptext and link of the post likestop https://lemmy.ml/post/1234 - Unsubscribe completely: Send PM to the bot and add
stoptext to your message. It will unsubscribe you from all subscriptions.
Note: the bot sends only one notification per post. It waits for the previous notification to be marked as read for new comments.
Made with @[email protected]'s lemmy-bot project 🙏 Tomorrow I will publish the code publicly after adding README and self-hosting guide.
You're viewing a single thread.
All of you asked for it, so the bot will now send PMs instead of replying to comments :) Please don't beat me up again 😨

Thanks! Its super convenient! Is it just me or does clicking the link it provides opens the thread but not the comment itself? Would be convenient since im guessing replies to comments dont cause a notification?
Yeah make sense. I've updated it to work that way 👍

Given the backlash against everyone who tries to make a reddit-lemmy mirroring bot then hopefully you've saved yourself a headache in the future!
TBH I don't like those bots either 👍
see? violence is always the answer!
Is it possible to subscribe to a comment thread as well? So if anyone replies to your comment I get a notification?
Yes it is possible and I want to implement it soon, but I can't give a date. I'm thinking of making it so that when the bot is mentioned in a reply to a comment, make it notify comments only on that comment chain.
Thanks!
