So, plainly, my questions are what know-how do I need to make one and if I ultimately can make one, how do I integrate it into a platform? E.g how did the pipedbot link I got to see, get integrated into lemmy in the comments section?

So, I just discovered something called piped because a lemmy bot linked a YouTube video to it. My familiarity with privacy and FOSS is a bit naïve, but I’d like to build more on it. I’ve seen similar bots when I was on reddit, ones that would give links to a mentioned song, or the moderator ones (I’m assuming the AutoMod thing is a bot too).

Could someone possibly walk me through how to make one? This might be irrelevant/relevant info: I’m familiar with knowledge graphs, SPARQL, a tiny tiny tiny bit of SQL, python and R (mostly because of school).

Also, apart from links, moderation, and chats on customer service websites, where would a non-techy apply it? Even if it’s just for personal use.

I know I could duckgogo this, but I prefer dynamic walkthroughs/explanations I can get here.

    Nobody is going to be able to give you a walkthrough in a post. There are a lot of concepts at play which are all going to require you get on google and start learning. You’ll inevitably run into issues that can be specifically asked about and answered but this is so general how would we even begin to give a walkthrough.

    If I had to give a spot to start I’d say look into interacting with the apis (or any apis in general) first in your desired language and then figure out some things you can do with the data you’re getting back from the calls.
