I think the title says it all. Basically, when a new comment appears on your targeted post, it sends you a PM about it.

@PostWatchBot@lemy.lol

Usage

  • Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments or send the link to the bot via PM.
  • Unsubscribe from a post: send PM to the bot with stop text and link of the post like stop https://lemmy.ml/post/1234
  • Unsubscribe completely: Send PM to the bot and add stop text to your message. It will unsubscribe you from all subscriptions.

Note: the bot sends only one notification per post. It waits for the previous notification to be marked as read for new comments.

Made with @CannotSleep420@hexbear.net's lemmy-bot project ๐Ÿ™ Tomorrow I will publish the code publicly after adding README and self-hosting guide.

All of you asked for it, so the bot will now send PMs instead of replying to comments :) Please don't beat me up again ๐Ÿ˜จ

    Thanks! Its super convenient! Is it just me or does clicking the link it provides opens the thread but not the comment itself? Would be convenient since im guessing replies to comments dont cause a notification?

    Is it possible to subscribe to a comment thread as well? So if anyone replies to your comment I get a notification?

    Yes it is possible and I want to implement it soon, but I can't give a date. I'm thinking of making it so that when the bot is mentioned in a reply to a comment, make it notify comments only on that comment chain.
