I have just deployed a script and a mastodon bot which attempt to hashtag lemmy posts so that they are better discoverable in microblogging services.

Please check the README for the why and the how.

If you have a microblogging account, please consider following the bot account which will help its hashtags federate to your instance's public timeline.

Many thanks to @[email protected] for hosting the bot.

PS: If you have a mastodon account, you can reply to your posts on mastodon (just search for their url) and add hashtags to your replies. This will achieve a quick and dirty version of what this bot is doing

Ye, the plan is to keep improving this bot with more fine-tuned mechanisms. Some of the things you suggested are already something I was planning

  • Allow excluding posts when a specific keyword is specified in the body
  • Allow adding extra optional tags when specific keywords are specified in the body

Is Mastodon ever starts supporting QT, I will also switch to QT the posts instead of replying to them.

Feel free to open feature requests in github about it
