How does one make a Lemmy bot? A couple of communities I moderate could benefit from a bot to post regular threads based on a template or respond to comments which contain key phrases.

How and where are Lemmy bots hosted? What language are they written in? I have some basic coding experience with Python/Bash/C++, but am not sure where to start when it comes to something like this.

Are there any good step-by-step guides for building a Lemmy bot?

As someone who's always curious about how things are implemented I always appreciate a link to a git repo being offered up front.

A landing page could also curtail some of those accusations until something better comes along with Auth0 or similar support. But also people are going to complain no matter what you do.
