Muscle memory had me type !Remindme… what are bots that currently work on Lemmy?
Most of the bots on Lemmy so far are just link-dumping from Reddit and RSS feeds. It ruins All and it looks like a lot of it is starting to go to community farming. I saw one yesterday where the bot was using multiple accounts and posting shortened links to survey sites across a bunch of Astro-turfed communities.
Oh, and the article-summarized bot is here, too.
That one is a good bot
Not really. It often clips out important bits of information, some that can completely change the narrative.
Yeah it could be better.

@Aesecakes Here is your reminder!
Good bot
@Aesecakes Ok, I will remind you on Sunday Aug 27, 2023 at 6:59 AM PDT.
I like the one that shows people how to make instance-neutral links.
The ones I’ve encountered so far were actually helpful like @CommunityLinkFixer and PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks but I have yet to find any annoying ones like that Haiku generator bot from reddit. I’m not sure whether there is a measurement converter bot yet but if there is none, it would be a welcome addition.
The Piped link bot is obnoxious and unnecessary
Bots that want to be here on Lemmy.World has to follow some bot-rules. This was to avoid most of the Reddit reporters and general spammy bots. Here is a list of bots that i know of: (I am not pinging the bots, as that will most likely activate them and make them answer me in some way)
And that’s about it actually, as far as I know 😅
