Good morning everyone! I’m going to start work today on creating a Game Day Bot for lemmy. If anyone has any experience with the existing GDBs on reddit, please reach out to me.

I’ve struggled to find the open-source version of the code for the r/baseball (and teams’) bots and am planning on using this NHL one I found as a template.

It’s not a lot of work but it would be a whole lot easier to just fork and update than write all the boiler plate from scratch. If someone could share the existing source code for the popular GDBs I will do just that so new mods can fork a lemmy-specific version.

    Agreed. We really just need to login (to get the auth token) and the GetPost and EditPost methods for the basic game day bot. I am not a python developer so what I’ve been working on is just a hack to get this to work, not a praw replacement 😁

    I am interested in seeing how the redball templates look in lemmy once I get it working.

    FYI: One of the lemmy devs, Sleepless One, just confirmed he doesn’t know anyone working on a python client.
