I had my bot using the Reddit api for a long time fetching the good jokes from r/jokes and the good ol’memes etc… now that the api closed my bot is basically useless so now i’m thinking of linking it to Lemmy, that would both help me keep my bot alive with a purpose and make me post on more to keep on the good content, i haven’t checked or tried to link it here yet, i figured i should get more thoughts into this first, so that’s that, would it slow the lemmy api? Is it possible to link discord bots to Lemmy? Do you recommend or can add anything to the subject? I’m open for any informations you can add.
if you dont make 10 requests per second and maybe even fetch the data from another instance like this https://iusearchlinux.fyi/c/[email protected] i dont think it matters too much on the bandwidth side. I dont really know about the other more technical sides :/
Depends how much requests to api are you making, but it should have neglectable impact. Lemmy API is somewhat simple to use, here you can find the http api reference, or depends in which programming language you did code your bot, there are a couple of wrappers, for example plemmy for Python.
