I was thinking of creating a bot that took the RSS feed of album reviews from the Angry Metal Guy site and posted new album reviews to this Community. The site seems to post one or two a day on average.
But obviously, I鈥檇 like to hear people鈥檚 thoughts on this idea. Not everyone loves bots so I鈥檇 like to gauge community reaction before I just go ahead on do it.
EDIT: Upvotes and favourable comments are a good sign so I鈥檝e created it. I did a dry run to store all the historical reviews so everything the bot posts now should be brand new. This also means you might not see a new post for the next 24hrs depending on when AMG next update.
If it misbehaves let me know! And if it鈥檚 awful or annoying I can easily disable it.
I鈥檇 like that, and if people don鈥檛 they can just block it, right?
go for it
Yes please 馃檹馃徎
I鈥檓 all for it. Lemmy is in serious need of some content, even shit posts are welcome at this point.
Is it possible to convert the review content from html to markdown? For example automatically change
<b>Arch Blade</b>to**Arch Blade**(-> Arch Blade).I鈥檝e added
<b></b><i></i>to the tags to be converted to markdown so that should be OK now.Nice, thanks!
Not sure鈥鈥檒l have a look.
