Bot to aggregate what Lemmy community is reading
Bot to aggregate what Lemmy community is reading
If you are from reddit, there was a subreddit called "RedditRead" which aggregated automatically all books title found in "what are you reading" threads and making a post for each one with a link to Goodreads. I think this was great and would be a good idea to implement on Lemmy, but with the following changes:
- Due to the concept of federation, less centralized, I think the bot should takes it's input from several communities ([email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; ...)
- It should not promote non-free service like Goodreads but rather use open library or bookwyrm api to fetch it's data and link to those free services
What do you think? I may be interested in developing something (using some existing bot framework, should not be too difficult), but I will not be able to host it (unless it can be done for free - without too much assle).
If it could dump that data into something easily accessible like a wiki I’d be fully on board as long is it doesn’t keep track of usernames or something
Oh wow this sounds like a fun project!! I don’t have much experience with lemmy and network bots but this would be a great way to get into it. I would love to be involved it it!!
