Forgejo v1.21 is available and comes with significant improvements to Forgejo Actions and the Forgejo runner. It also brings better user blocking, many documentation improvements, a shortcut button to open new PRs, mail notifications when new users are created and more.
I’m curious, why is this bot currently being downvoted for almost every comment it makes?
I don’t know about other people, but I find these comments noisy. I’d rather just see replies to the post from actual people.
Please, just block the bot and you won’t see it again. If there was a way to make the replies from the bot not appear on lemmy, I would add it, but it’s not possible.
yeah I guess maybe the formatting and the verbosity seems a bit annoying? Wonder what the alternatives solution could be to better engage people from mastodon, which is what this bot is trying to address.
edit: just to be clear, I’m not affiliated with the bot or its creator. This is just my observation from multiple posts I see this bot comments on.
I wonder if perhaps wrapping the majority of the text in a spoiler would work. Though I don’t know if that translates over to Mastodon (if not, it might look a bit funky on that side).
Unfotunately mastodon doesn’t support markdown, and even trying to do hyperlinks is an exercise in frustration. The integration between lemmy and mastodon sucks atm. It’s part of why the bot exists.
Ah I see, that’s unfortunate then. For what its worth, I still think the bot is a great idea for discoverability and bridging the two services together! I hadn’t seen it before since I usually have bot users muted and happened to see this comment chain while logged out.
I’ve given it a follow from my Mastodon account since I do tend to miss quite a few cool Lemmy posts it seems, and I think it’ll help me find some communities in general that I’ll want to subscribe to from over here.
