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 π¨

see? violence is always the answer!
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 π
π
Thanks!
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.
So every user that decides to get notified will add a comment to the thread?
If 100 people trigger it, 100 comments will be the exact same response?
Also, if people end up "deleting the comment to keep the thread clean", will they get purged as well?
Valid criticism. Iβll try to clear it tomorrow π Any suggestions are appreciated.
It could send a message to the user instead of commenting on the thread
Why not send the messages/instructions as a PM as well?
Thanks but I don't think this is a good method. We need an addon like RES, or built-in like on Saidit, or a script like this: https://gist.github.com/NathanSweet/de43d5b2cb0c0836763b
I donβt know about the options youβve said but I agree this should be a built-in feature. But itβs not.
Ah, another handy bot handle to add to my Geyboard shortcuts. Nice!
Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments.
Not a huge fan of the noise this adds to the threads. Would be nice if Lemmy frontends could provide better ways to interact with bots. For example custom buttons that would PM the bot with the appropriate message to trigger the action.
This feature must be implemented by built-in in the first place. But your idea makes sense too. Iβll try to discuss this with UI devs.
I might be able to set something up with the InstanceAssistant browser extension. It would be nice to have it in the main UI, but this could help temporarily.
I'll send a PM :)
It's cool. I wish a function like this was built into Lemmy.
Same.
