We need a episode discussion bot

Agreed, what r/anime had made it nice to discuss on a consistent basis (when it was consistent lol)

An ambitious person could probably fork https://github.com/r-anime/holo and shimmy or re-do the API calls to have it target one (or more) Lemmy communities.
- Looks like another user here (chaorace) already did it, just waiting for a response from mods.
- I think there’s a wrapper for Reddits API, might actually be pretty easy.

I forked r/anime's holo bot (u/AutoLovepon) and swapped it to Lemmy's API. It should be good to go (a second pair of eyes might be nice, I'm not perfect!) I PM'd the mods, if they give the go-ahead it can be up and running in probably an hour. Code here for your pleasure, let me know if I missed something

Strongly agreed. There's a saucenao bot for hentai already, we need one for anime discussions too
- Someone had their priorities up.
  And something else.
  
  Not complaining it's useful in my comm 🗿

Yeah I’ve been using the anime discussion bot as my “anime reminder”
Having one would be really nice

Agreed. Hopefully as more people migrate to lemmy, someone will port the previous bot or make a new one.

Not quite sure about this. Honestly, this community is way too small to have lively discussions every anime episode that airs. The home page might just look like the episode bot spamming lots of posts with around 3 to 4 comments. We need to get bigger as a community first before this.
- The community won't get bigger because we come to discuss anime and then there is no anime discussion thread.
  
  You've got a very optimistic outlook. Let's hope you're right about the community actually getting bigger if we have episode discussion threads. Worst that can happen is we end up with bot spam and empty threads.
