How does one make a Lemmy bot? A couple of communities I moderate could benefit from a bot to post regular threads based on a template or respond to comments which contain key phrases.

How and where are Lemmy bots hosted? What language are they written in? I have some basic coding experience with Python/Bash/C++, but am not sure where to start when it comes to something like this.

Are there any good step-by-step guides for building a Lemmy bot?

    Perhaps you’re right, on the other hand I stopped caring after about the 5th time someone accused me of trying to steal their precious credentials.

    I know better use of my time than convincing people that no, I’m not stealing anything, it’s just Lemmy devs being incompetent and not having any other way for 3rd parties to authenticate.

      As someone who’s always curious about how things are implemented I always appreciate a link to a git repo being offered up front.

      A landing page could also curtail some of those accusations until something better comes along with Auth0 or similar support. But also people are going to complain no matter what you do.
