# Lemmy Score Bot

A lemmy bot that detects when posts reach an upvote total and then responds with a reply

## Setup

1. Clone the repository

2. Create an account in the instance you want the bot to have as its home (just make a regular user)

3. Create a file called .env in the bot folder and give it values in this format with the data in the quotes (dont add the slashes or the part after the slashes)

```

LEMMY_INSTANCE="" // The instance the bot account is in

LEMMY_USERNAME="" // The bot username

LEMMY_PASSWORD="" // The bot password

```

4. Change the data in config.yaml based on what you want set

5. Open a terminal in the bot folder and run `npm install` to install dependendies and then `node main.js` to run the bot (whenever you want to start the bot again you can just do ctrl+c to interrupt the process and node main.js to start the bot)

I recommend installing something like [forever.js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/forever) for making it run continually
