To see it in action:
Crust.piefed.social (the Piefed development instance)
Not all instances implement it yet, I guess it depends how often they pull from the dev branch
Example of search for 'movies'
What we really need is a revival of the functionality of the bot at !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl that died. I still miss it so much :(
There was a revival attempt at !trendingcommunities@lemmy.cafe , but it was short lived.
That probably shows a trend: those type of tools need to be built-in into the software, relying on Raspberry Pies, scripts and external tools to provide such features will likely lead to them being abandoned
Oh I missed that somehow! I'll subscribe just in case, but I agree with you that the functionality should ideally be built in to the software.
We do.
!trendingcommunities@lemmy.cafe
But it's also running intermittently, and hasn't been updated in a week or so.
Is there a Python wrapper for writing PieFed bots? Or does Pythörhead work of-the-box for PieFed?
I don't think piefed has the same API has lemmy, so no. It's been something I wanted to onboard (the piefed API) ,but I haven't fouind the time.
No clue, sorry.
didn't even realize it died :/ do you know why?
No idea, it just stopped working. It already didn't work with Piefed communities I think, maybe it was taken down for maintenance and never put back up?
