A modular automated moderation bot for the Threadiverse that can be easily configured using a text file.
Created for feddit.dk and feddit.nu on Lemmy. These instances are small and no other moderation tools are necessary besides the thread scheduler at the moment, which is why it is the only module.
Modules that perform other moderation tasks can be added upon request.
Currently, AutoMod only supports the Lemmy API.
Set up the following environment variables by copying the provided .env.template file and renaming it to .env. Update the values in the .env file according to your cross-posting bot's Lemmy account and operating instance.
LEMMY_USERNAME: Username for the bot's Lemmy accountLEMMY_PASSWORD: Password for the bot's Lemmy account
The bot uses a config.yaml file to determine the actions it will carry out. Adjust the values in the config.yaml file according to your requirements. Make sure that the destination Lemmy communities have been created before deploying the bot.
This configuration file tells AutoMod to create a thread named "Free Talk Friday" at 7AM CET every Friday.
