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 🙏 Tomorrow I will publish the code publicly after adding README and self-hosting guide.

    Is it ok to mention it with other text? Would be nice if lemmy apps allowed you to add bookmarks/favorites sorta like contacts so its easy to remember any bot i want to frequently use with remembering the exact username @ and instance @

      There is auto complete on default UI, I can just type “@postw” and it’s showing me the bot. I’m not sure about bookmarks but they should implement auto completion on their apps.
