Introducing the Lemmy Tagginator (github.com)

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

i can see why you may not want this but have you potentially considered rehosting/attaching any images from image posts in the bot's replies? as lemmy doesn't federate those properly just yet (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4035/commits/ecd8e3b11b5292bad73d48c2fbf11db00bc432c2 will fix it for posts originating in lemmy AFAIK) it'd make the bot quite a lot more useful and things like memes do tend to get boosted a lot more widely than links, though i can definitely see why it may feel a bit like freebooting (so, it could perhaps be a per-community option for non-OC-heavy communities?)
