Great news everyone – the Lemmy CardFetcherBot is now live across all MTGZone communities. We’re still updating it and working on getting running with supervisor on the server, but in the meantime it should be handling all comments and posts on our instance here. To use it, type card names in this format: [[Card Name]], and Cardbot will reply with links to the cards. If you’d like to help out in anyway, feel free to join in at Github here: https://github.com/mikegioia/lemmy-cardfetcher-bot [https://github.com/mikegioia/lemmy-cardfetcher-bot] Adding issues, sending PRs, anything at all will be helpful! [[Venture Forth]]

This is the first practical / pragmatic Lemmy bot that I’ve seen.

The code is quite straightforward to read through as well, and its use is quite easy. These bots are highly useful for Magic the Gathering players, to help look up various cards without having to leave the discussion site.

By adding bots like this to your community, you can improve the discussion. Since a lot of people are talking about #RedditBlackout, free-access to bots like this are going to be a key-feature Lemmy offers over Reddit.
