I’m thinking of looking at the Lemmy api and that’s best done when you have some actual problem to solve!

So, is there any bot that you’d like to see?

Some recollections from Reddit:

A bot that links the top posts of all time for a community. Gives a good sense of the community’s greatest hits when referenced in discussions.

A bot that converts imperial to metric units or vice versa. Some people do find this one annoying, but as a metric user, this one helps me understand miles and pounds, etc.

A bot that summarises or pulls the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article.

The metric <-> imperial seems like something I’d have fun doing!

In a similar vein, a bot that links to a timezone converter.
