AMG Bot Update - Lemmy.world

You might’ve noticed no posts by the bot today. The log did record an error and it seems that because lemmy.world has had no choice to go behind cloudflare until the script kiddies get bored with their ddos attack on the database, the bot isn’t making it past the cloudflare challenge, which is not surprising. I’ll leave it up and running and hopefully .world can ease back as and when the ddos attacks retreat. Hopefully at that point the bot will resume normal activity.

Bot Posting Issue on .world? - Lemmy.world

Hi :) A couple of days ago I set up a bot account on lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] using the Lemmy Mega Bot [https://github.com/Ategon/Lemmy-Mega-Bot] code. This bot grabs an RSS feed and posts new items from it lemmy.world/c/metal - there’s never more than 2 a day. Today it failed to post anything at all. I checked the logs and there was an error I didn’t fully understand so I talked to the author of the script. They suggested that this could be happening if .world had set up a Cloudflare challenge script (due to the ddos attacks), so I’d just like to confirm if that is the case and .world is using a Cloudflare challenge? Thanks!

Question for the c/metal community - Lemmy.world

I was thinking of creating a bot that took the RSS feed of album reviews from the Angry Metal Guy site [https://www.angrymetalguy.com/] and posted new album reviews to this Community. The site seems to post one or two a day on average. But obviously, I’d like to hear people’s thoughts on this idea. Not everyone loves bots so I’d like to gauge community reaction before I just go ahead on do it.
