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 π¨

So every user that decides to get notified will add a comment to the thread?
If 100 people trigger it, 100 comments will be the exact same response?
Also, if people end up "deleting the comment to keep the thread clean", will they get purged as well?

Thanks but I don't think this is a good method. We need an addon like RES, or built-in like on Saidit, or a script like this: https://gist.github.com/NathanSweet/de43d5b2cb0c0836763b

Ah, another handy bot handle to add to my Geyboard shortcuts. Nice!

Let me try it first :)

How does it subscribe when lemmy doesn't have subscribing or notification apps? Does it just poll the server? (As a server owner the amount of traffic there worries me, and that could cost me depending on implementation)
If it's polling, how do you know to stop polling? Will it just poll a post forever?
replies:
Nice :) @PostWatchBot@lemy.lol
replies:
Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments.
Not a huge fan of the noise this adds to the threads. Would be nice if Lemmy frontends could provide better ways to interact with bots. For example custom buttons that would PM the bot with the appropriate message to trigger the action.

It's cool. I wish a function like this was built into Lemmy.
