As I explained there, the purpose is to help introduce discovery and more engagement on lemmy from the microblogging space.
Some things about it.
You can add extra tags
Normally the bot will always tag as #Piracy, but you can add more tags from those supported. The current supported tags are #Torrents, #Arrs, and #Usenet
Feel free to suggest other optional tags
You can skip the Tagginator
Simply put #SkipTagginator in your body to prevent the bot from posting. Use this if you don’t think that post should be boosted in discoverability.
You can avoid seeing the bot
I see a lot of people downvoting the bot. Mates, just block the bot account. It’s that easy.
Possibly stupid question, but how does one manually tag things on lemmy when using desktop web ui from browser (as opposed to mobile apps that specifically have a tagging feature). Is it as simple as add some #SomeWord thing? Asking bc I thought that when using markdown for comments (which I do), the # at the beginning indicates a heading level, not a tag. So… guess I’m just saying I have no idea how tags work in lemmy (don’t know how to add them, don’t know how to search by them, etc).
It might be worth mentioning - or at least linking to - how one can do so manually on lemmy in the readme.md file for dummies like myself.
Tagging is not natively supported in lemmy. This is why I made this bot. As the tagging happens by simply text scanning, just adding the tag somewhere in your body like I did in the OP should suffice.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
