its nothing big from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By import time

Configuration

target_username = "thecheshirechatbot" # Username to monitor (no @) my_username = "johnny_dapple_seed" # Your Threads username (no @) auto_reply = "🤡" # The emoji to reply with

Track replied comment IDs (simple deduplication)

replied_to = set()

Set up the Chrome driver (make sure ChromeDriver is installed and on PATH)

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

Step 1: Go to Threads and wait for manual login

driver.get("https://www.threads.net") input("🟢 Please log in manually, then press Enter here to continue...")

Step 2: Visit your profile

driver.get(f"https://www.threads.net/@{my_username}") time.sleep(5)

print(f"🔍 Monitoring comments on posts by @{my_username} for comments from @{target_username}...")
