I was thinking about making my “house statistics” stuff (temperatures, etc.) into a bot using ActivityPub, but then I thought I could do the same as XMPP bot or re-do the current shitty website it provides.

Maybe a good reason to dig into creating Docker containers …

I’m just getting into Lemmy/kbin, but in love coding little bots. Don’t have any specific ideas at the moment, but I gotta do SOMETHING fun.

I would just like a simple post to Lemmy from RSS feed bot. I manage a PlayStation community and I just want official PS blog posts and YouTube uploads to push to the community when they go live.

I wrote this haiku detector bot but it’s not online yet, it still has a couple bugs and I’m quite busy atm

The folks over at mtgzone.com have a bot that posts links to Magic cards in response to comments that mention them. It’s written in TypeScript, and the source code is here.

I’ve had some ideas about a bot that comments on discussions with links to similar discussions on other instances. It’d use algorithms similar to search indexing, so I might look into a search provider app too, but I think a “related discussion finder” might be a good way to help similar groups find each other across the fediverse and come together. Might help offset some of the downsides of extreme decentralisation.
